[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#573172: libvirt0: netcat -q option prevents remote connections

[Hans J. Koch]

Package: libvirt0
Version: 0.7.7-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When I use virt-manager, every attempt to connect to a remote server ends with

server closed connection: nc: invalid option -- 'q'

The server runs Fedora, with an openbsd nc installed. It knows the option -U
so I don't have the problem reported in #538799. Unfortunately, nc.openbsd
doesn't know -q. On the other hand, nc.traditional knows -q, but not -U.
The usage of both options in one nc commandline completly breaks things.

Thanks,
Hans
