Bug#1141252: LP2145797: PCI device descriptions missing in virt-manager

Package: libpciaccess
Version: 0.18.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On Ubuntu 26.04 (Daily Build 20260323), the "Add New Virtual Hardware"
wizard in virt-manager does not display proper vendor/device descriptions
for PCI devices. Only PCI addresses are shown.

In comparison, Ubuntu 24.04 correctly displays both PCI addresses and
descriptive strings (e.g., "Intel Corporation Raptor Lake USB 3.2") on
the same hardware and with the same configuration.

Ubuntu fixes this with the appended patch.

  * Correct search path for pci.ids (LP: #2145797)

Thanks for considering the patch.
