Missing dependency to ssh-askpass

[Daniel Kulesz]

(sorry for double-reporting this bug, but there was a data privacy issue with the first reported, therefore it was closed. The bug itself is still valid, though)

As of virt-manager included in Ubuntu 11.10, the dependency to "ssh-askpass" is obviously missing. On an connection attempt to a virtual host via ssh I get the following (misleading) error message:

-
Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon.

Libvirt URI is: qemu+ssh://user@host/system

Verify that:
 - The 'libvirt-bin' package is installed
 - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started
 - You are member of the 'libvirtd' group

Installing libvirt-bin does not help of course, but installing "ssh-askpass" does.
