Comment 6 for bug 1613264

Hi,
thanks for the ping I didn't see the bug before.
For me things worked right out of the box, but I could reproduce by uninstalling the gir1 package that was mentioned before.
Therefore I can somewhat confirm the issue but IMHO it is not that much a bug, let me explain why.

I went back and checked why it worked for me out of the box and the package was installed at first and it was driven by correct dependencies.

$ aptitude why gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 --show-summary
Packages requiring gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0:
  virt-manager

So the packaging already has a valid dependency to make this work.
Since many or rather most common virt-manager tasks work I think "recommends" is the right dependency in general.

We would need to check why you had it not installed, as by default recommends are installed.
Maybe you had the packages from the image which can leave out some recommends to keep image size down?

Therefore I wanted to ask how you installed virt-manager?
- was it without recommends intentionally then this is not really a bug
- did it come from other dependencies, images, ... and missed to install the recommends than we should understand and solve that.

Setting incomplete until we know how you got virt-manager without the recommended gir1 package.
