Updated packages uploaded for Mageia 4 and Cauldron.  Thanks Nicolas!

Advisory:
========================

Updated netcf packages fix security vulnerability:

A denial of service flaw was found in netcf. A specially crafted interface name could cause an application using netcf (such as the libvirt daemon) to crash.

The netcf package has been updated to version 0.2.8, fixing this issue and
several other bugs.

urpmq --whatrequires lib64netcf1 only says libvirt-utils require that and I cannot see a link to it from its /usr/bin/* programs using ldd.

virt-manager requires libvirt-utils, it attempted to install it when run actually, maybe a missing require in virt-manager.

Either way it updates without error.

Testing this for x86_64.
Had to install virt-manager and lib64virt-utils for the test.

Before the update virt-manager displayed the management window then froze - I think it was looking for a python package.

After the update it raised an error:

Error talking to PackageKit: The connection is closed

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/packageutils.py", line 54, in check_packagekit
    packagekit_install(parent, packages)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/packageutils.py", line 66, in packagekit_install
    bus = Gio.bus_get_sync(Gio.BusType.SESSION, None)
GError: The connection is closed

The application reported:
Could not detect a default hypervisor and something about virtualization packages "kvm, qemu, libvirt, etc."  And it said a hypervisor connection can be manually added.  I need to look that up.

Well I really don't know what I am doing here.  Clicked on localhost (QEMU) then file then Restore Saved Machine and then navigated to my VMs and selected one of them - shaula - then clicked on shaula.dvi or shaula.vbox and raised this error:

Error restoring domain: operation failed: image magic is incorrect

Can I assume that this is the bug manifesting itself and continue on to the update?

I'm not sure the process for importing vbox images Len. You can click to create a new machine though and give it an iso to use in the same way you would vbox. It creates machines in the / partition by default so use caution when sizing the disk and you might want to delete it when you've finished testing.

Tested mga4 64 here anyway.

Validating.

Please push to 4 updates

Thanks
