Details

Description:
connectiong to an host running libvirtd with virt-manager via ssh/quemu is not possible because nc/netcat needs the -U (use UNIX domain socket) option.

Additional info:
* package version(s):
libvirt 0.8.1-1
openbsd-netcat 1.89-4

Steps to reproduce:
start libvirtd with qemu/kvm-backend at one host, try to connect to that host with another via virt-manager:

* having no netcat installed:
bash: nc: command not found

* having gnu-netcat installed:
nc: invalid option -- 'U'
Try `nc --help' for more information.

* having openbsd-netcat installed:
everything is fine

this should at least be included in the post_install/post_upgrade message
This task depends upon
