[Bug 871847] Re: Bad port '0' upon connect qemu+ssh

[Peter Matulis]

Is this fix going to be backported to any older releases, notably 11.10
that just came out?

Title:
  Bad port '0' upon connect qemu+ssh

Status in “virt-viewer” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi there, it's not possible to use virt-viewer --connect qemu+ssh:..... anymore in Oneiric Ocelot (virt-viewer 0.4.1-1ubuntu1) because of a bug. It returns the following error during connect:
  Bad port '0'
  This is due to a bug in the C code, which I have traced.
  Please apply the patch in attachment to the Oneiric Ocelot virt-viewer 0.4.1-1ubuntu1 sources.

  ==============
  SRU Justification:
  1. Impact: using a normal -c URI results in failure.
  2. Development Fix: the bug was fixed by syncing the newer debian package.
  3. Stable Fix: the patch fixing the bug was cherrypicked from the debian package
  4. Test case: start a libvir vm, then try to connect using
      virt-viewer -c qemu+ssh://localhost/system <vm-name>
  5. Regression potential: the cherrypicked patch only affects the code calculating the connection URI, so if there is any regression it would manifest itself in new errors connecting to a remote URI with virt-viewer.
