Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.8.6-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I have successfully used virt-manager to conntect a libvirt managed KVM
server via SSH in the past.

I'm not sure anymore which upgrade caused the failure, but for the
previously working qemu+ssh://root@host connection I now get the
following error message:

Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon.

Libvirt URI is: qemu+ssh://root@foo/system

Verify that:
 - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started

server closed connection: nc: invalid option -- 'U'
nc -h for help


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 1022, in _try_open
    None], flags)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 107, in openAuth
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virConnectOpenAuth() failed')
libvirtError: server closed connection: nc: invalid option -- 'U'
nc -h for help



The client system is Debian unstable, the KVM server runs an up-to-date
Debian squeeze.
