[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#597913: virt-manager: Unable to connect to local libvirtd

[Dominik Schulz]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.8.4-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

virt-manager is unable to connect to a local QEMU/KVM hypervisor.
libvirtd is running and the user running virt-manager is in the group
libvirt which is configured in /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf.

virt-manager keeps connection forever without issuing an error
or any success, it just says: "localhost (QEMU) - Connecting ...".
