Hello, I'm unsure by what you mean by updating KVM itself but I'm going to assume you mean stuff like QEMU etc...
- Note that I'm fairly new too to Linux, but from some research it seems to be up-gradable like any other packages (At least, on Linux Mint):
(I'm also assuming you did it with apt)

sudo apt update

> To get all available updates for all installed packages

 

sudo apt upgrade

> Will apply ALL the available updates

Other options

sudo apt full-upgrade

> You could also use this one but careful as it WILL remove older version of some packages which in some occasions peoples might consider this risky, I usually go with upgrade for now

You can also upgrade only a specific package:

sudo apt install --only-upgrade <package name>

Hope this helps !

If you want to update virt-manager you could try downloading it from their github, read around to see how to download it and install it


I did find a few informations:

Or from their github:
