libvirt virNetworkGetDHCPLeases error on 18.03

[nh2]

With up upgrade to nixpkgs release-18.03, I started seeing this in about 50% of my libvirt nixops deployments:

node-3..> uploading key ‘mykey’...

libvirtError: invalid network pointer in virNetworkGetDHCPLeases

Not sure what that is; googling invalid network pointer in virNetworkGetDHCPLeases yields 0 results.

I've tried a luckshot upgrading from libvirt 3.10.0 -> 4.4 but it didn't fix it.

You could try this PR NixOS/nixops#922. I had to modify a few things to make it more reliable

If I remember correctly, I tried this a couple months ago but it didn't fix it for me.
