On ubuntu system: # apt-get install build-essential quilt $ cd /usr/src $ apt-get source netcat-openbsd $ cd ./netcat-openbsd-1.89 $ ./debian/rules Now you have in current directory patched version which you download on the remote server and there compile it. -- remotely executed netcat (nc) uses -q option which is not universally supported https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517478 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libvirt in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
