[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#565907: virt-manager: tap devices of a cloned VM are not renamed and thus cannot be created

[Tino Keitel]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.8.2-1
Severity: normal

If I clone a VM which creates TAP devices (<target dev='...'/>), the value
for target dev is not changed.  Thus, the network interfaces get the same
names as the interfaces of the original VM, which causes a conflict.

The names of the interface should be either made be user changeable in the
clone dialog, or automatically renamed, or both.
