Something like

  Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1468422

would be better, as it disambiguates which specifica Bugzilla
instance you're talking about and allows users to jump straight
to the bug report.

I'm not very familiar with this area of libvirt, but I would
probably error out when

  enc->nsecrets != 1

instead.

Reporting this as VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR also doesn't look quite
right; VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG would certainly be more appropriate for
something that happened because the user provided less information
than expected.


Hopefully someone more authoritative will chime in: to be
completely honest, I really just wanted to comment on the commit
message bit :)
