virt-viewer on TW should be able to connect to virtqemud on MicroOS without the need for nc or netcat-openbsd. virt-ssh-helper should be used as a relay in this case. IMO it would be better to investigate this issue via bugzilla. Please file a ticket. Thanks!

Understood, filed boo#1222100 for this.
(I keep getting IDs rounded to the hundredth heh)
NACK to this change, until I better understand your issue.
The libvirt-dameon-proxy package already has a 'Recommends: netcat-openbsd'. Personally, I'd like to completely remove the dependency. It's only needed for clients based on libvirt < 6.9.0. All newer libvirt clients prefer virt-ssh-helper. Are you trying to connect to a newer libvirt installation (e.g. TW) using an old libvirt client?
Ah, I didn't know netcat-openbsd is already listed.
The libvirt server is running on MicroOS (which explains why recommend was not installed) and the libvirt client is running on Tumbleweed,
virt-viewer --versionsays 11.0, so sounds like I shouldn't need nc on the server, not sure why it isn't the case.
