[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#538799: libvirt-bin: remote connections fail with netcat-traditional

[Alex]

Package: libvirt-daemon-system
Version: 3.0.0-4
Followup-For: Bug #538799

Dear Maintainer,
the problem is still there and debian seems to default to nc6, which
also isn't compatible.
What about changing the netcat path both on server and client side to
something like /usr/lib/libvirt/nc.libvirt and symlinking this to
nc.openbsd, which is a dependency on the daemon package, while the
client doesn't need to care about the server side implementation but can
expect a working binary in /usr/lib/libvirt/nc.libvirt?

with kind regards,
Alexander Schier
