[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#513599: Can't connect to remote host via ssh without ssh-askpass*

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.6.0-6
Severity: wishlist

If someone is connecting to a remote host via ssh virt-manager fails to connect
if there is no auto-connect available (i.e. the remote key has a sshkey
with no passphrase).
The only solution is to install a tool which ask you for a password like
* ssh-askpass
* ssh-askpass-fullscreen
* ssh-askpass-gnome

Now, virt-manager will ask for the root password if neccessary and will
not bail out with this error message:
|Unable to open connection to hypervisor URI 'qemu+ssh://root@box/system':
|<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> Connection reset by peer
|Traceback (most recent call last):
|  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 486, in _open_thread
|    None], flags)
|  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 99, in openAuth
|    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
|libvirtError: Connection reset by peer
|

Please add depends/recommends on one of these tools. Maybe upstream
could add a hint or something.
