[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#591850: Remote SSH connection requires ssh-askpass

[Michael Biebl]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.8.4-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

I tried to setup a remote connection using qemu+ssh.

This failed with the following error message

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 111, in
  openAuth
      if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
      libvirtError: cannot recv data: ssh_askpass:
      exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory
      Host key verification failed.
      : Die Verbindung wurde vom Kommunikationspartner zurückgesetzt

      Maybe you need to install ssh-askpass in order to authenticate.

I'm wondering if virt-manager (or libvirt-bin?) should add a Recommends
or at least Suggests for ssh-askpass.

Cheers,
Michael
