It seems it has moved to a multiarch location:

$ dpkg -L gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0/SpiceClientGtk-3.0.typelib
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0
/usr/share/doc/gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/gir1.2-spiceclientgtk-3.0/copyright
$ dpkg -L gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/SpiceClientGtk-3.0.typelib
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0
/usr/share/doc/gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0/copyright

but this shouldn't make any difference. You could try strace to see if
the typelib file gets picked up. Note that this is likely not related to
virt-manager but rather to how libgirepository picks up things.

Confusing since it only acts on running VMs. I've sent a patch upstream
to turn this into:

 Failed to connect: No running virtual machine found
