[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#812529: libvirt-daemon: libvirt virtual networks confuse network-manager

[Ralf Jung]

Package: libvirt-daemon
Version: 1.3.0-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Whenever a libvirt virtual network is running, network-manager gets confused and says

  $ nmcli networking connectivity
  full

  $ nmcli co show --active
  NAME              UUID                                  TYPE       DEVICE            
  virbr0-nic        60753a15-51aa-4d58-ae18-89ccc87ada79  generic    virbr0-nic        
  virbr0            2792df43-9008-4f41-b125-22b645edc7d0  bridge     virbr0            
  virbr1            b2c4a627-2d6c-439b-9866-7e9a59d9ea62  bridge     virbr1

no matter whether I am actually online or not.
This is rather bad since it breaks all applications that like to detect whether they are online,
like IM clients, browsers and E-Mail clients.

I don't know whether NM or libvirt is the better place to fix this. In any case, the two should
somehow coordinate in order not to break other applications.

Kind regards,
Ralf
