Package: virt-manager Version: 0.6.1-4 Severity: minor It's taken me many hours to track this down, not sure the best way (well, possibly remove the dependency!).
If you use qemu+ssh to a remote system, it calls "nc -U /var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock". a) it should probably call "netcat" instead (I know we keep 'nc' for backwards compatability, but I think 'netcat' has also been adopted everywhere now (i.e. by other distros)). b) -U is only supported by netcat-openbsd, not netcat-traditional (perhaps mention this in the 'details' error message?) c) not convinced what this actually does TBH - isn't that file 'owned' by libvirt - i.e. couldn't it just be 'cat'ted instead hence removing this dependency? Anyway, set to minor, just hopefully saving someone else some frustrations!
