Hi,

[https://patchwork.ipfire.org/project/ipfire/patch/20240812153808.3944396-11-adolf.belka@ipfire.org/](https://patchwork.ipfire.org/project/ipfire/patch/20240812153808.3944396-11-adolf.belka@ipfire.org/)

[https://patchwork.ipfire.org/project/ipfire/patch/20240812153808.3944396-12-adolf.belka@ipfire.org/](https://patchwork.ipfire.org/project/ipfire/patch/20240812153808.3944396-12-adolf.belka@ipfire.org/)

I think, there went something wrong with the ncat 7.95 Update. Perhaps a confusion with the nmap package.

I can’t connect to my libvrt-vm via vm-manager from my ubuntu-client:  
`Encountered SPICE error-link SSH Tunnel Fehlerausgabe: sh: line 1: nc: command not found`

When I try “nc” or “/usr/bin/nc” or “/usr/bin/ncat” I got  
`-bash: nc: command not found`

My apologies but unfortunately yes it looks like I made an error and made the ncat rootfile the same as the nmap rootfile.

I am working with @ms to find out how this error can be fixed in CU188.

The ncat package will be reverted and a rebuild done. Once that is completed then I will inform on this thread.

I just pushed the package to the mirrors. It will probably take a little while until it appears, but it should be soon as an update to install.
