--- fixes: - | libvirt 6.8.0 introduces virt-ssh-helper which prepends the libvirt ssh command with a "which virt-ssh-helper". libvirt used to first check for `nc` (netcat). But these two libvirt commits[1][2] have now changed it to first look for `virt-ssh-helper`, if it not available, then fall back to `nc`. This trips up the 'nova-migration-wrapper' as it does not support virt-ssh-helper atm. Until this is implemented, this change force to use "netcat" (`nc`) by appending to the migration URI: "&proxy=netcat" [1] https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=f8ec7c842d (rpc: use new virt-ssh-helper binary for remote tunnelling, 2020-07-08) [2] https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=7d959c302d (rpc: Fix virt-ssh-helper detection, 2020-10-27)
