[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#799771: virt-manager: Dependency missing: gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-2.0

Package: virt-manager
Followup-For: Bug #799771
Tags: patch

Hello,

I got the same problem, and I'd say it's a regression from version
1.0.1-5. This one line patch (to the debian patch) pasted below will
fix it by handling the gi.require_version() too. Spice is no longer needed.
Tested working ok for version 1.3.2-1/experimental on armhf (and patch
applies the same to version 1.2.1-4).

regards,
Adel
