Public bug reported:

As of virt-manager included in Ubuntu 11.10, the dependency to "ssh-
askpass" is obviously missing. On an connection attempt to a virtual
host via ssh I get the following (misleading) error message:

-
Unable to open a connection to the libvirt management daemon.

Libvirt URI is: qemu+ssh://user@host/system

Verify that:
 - The 'libvirt-bin' package is installed
 - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started
 - You are member of the 'libvirtd' group

cannot recv data: ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file
or directory

ssh_askpass: exec(/usr/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory

Permission denied (publickey).

: Connection reset by peer

Installing libvirt-bin does not help of course, but installing "ssh-askpass" 
does.
