[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#635721: libvirt0: ssh changes break virt-manager and qemu+ssh:// protocol

[Luca Tettamanti]

Package: libvirt0
Version: 0.9.3-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


virt-manager is unable to connect to remote hosts using qemu+ssh://
protocol; the error (see below) is rather uninformative, but this isse
has already been debugged upstream, see here:

[libvirt] remote driver RPC API usage breaks launching ssh askpass
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-July/msg01259.html

In short, DISPLAY is not passed to ssh which is then unable to spawn
askpass to decrypt the private key for the connection.

A fix is already available upstream (tested recompiling debian package):
