Hello,

it appears the upgrade from qemu-5.2.0-2 to  qemu-5.2.0-3 broke the
functionality of /usr/lib/qemu/qemu-bridge-helper.

This binary is a SUID-binary and therefore requires the user:group to be
root:root. Unfortunately it seems in the latest upgrade the user:group
are colord:colord.

Because of this, trying to use qemu-bridge-helper results in the errore
message

failed to create tun device: Operation not permitted
qemu-system-x86_64: bridge helper failed

Downgrading to qemu-5.2.0-2 fixes the problem.
