Bug#693969: virt-manager: Serial Console over SSH to XEN is not working (known bug in upstream with fix)

[Andreas Steinel]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.9.4-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The packaged version in debian (testing or unstable) is not able to connect to
a serial console on a XEN host via SSH and reports the problem 'Cannot open a
device with no alias name'.

There has been a patch around for this problem which could be easily
incorporated into the Debian package. The Bug-report and also the patch
(commenting out 2 lines) is available
http://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=506198

It would be great if you could fix this problem for wheezy.

Best,
Andreas
