[Qemu-discuss] ARM: timedelta # of days is too large: 1000000000

[Nerijus Baliunas]

Hello,

when running virt-2.9 machine with /usr/bin/qemu-system-arm on Fedora 28,
I get this on F28 arm VM:

# dnf update
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 57, in <module>

    raise OverflowError("timedelta # of days is too large: %d" % d)
OverflowError: timedelta # of days is too large: 1000000000

I found in https://github.com/CopterExpress/clever/issues/21 that it is
"error between Python and C type conversion on use qemu-static interpreter. The 
number 999999999 is rounded to 1000000000."
