[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#1109131: virt-manager: Default network is not installed

[user]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 1:5.0.0-5
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: andrew at lists.savchenko.net

Dear Maintainer,

Consider the following:
1. Install `virt-manager`, create a VM, shut it down
2. Reboot
3. Try to start the same VM again

Step #3 will fail with `Error starting domain: Requested operation is not
valid: network 'default' is not active`

It is not a problem to recreate and start the network manually, but newcomers
might be confused by such behaviour. And rightfully so.
