Comment:
So, I recently added a +vte variant because previously the virt-viewer
port was opportunistically enabling vte support based on whether vte
happened to be installed. I went back and looked to make sure that vte is
actually used by virt-viewer in this configuration (i.e., that it's not
just something used by libvirt/ovirt) and yes, it's used for serial
console support or SPICE.
Since it's possible to install virt-viewer with -vte to get it to build on
older systems, and the bug is really with vte/simdutf, I'm closing this
ticket.
