Comment (by Awgust):

 Just googled that bug, because of the problem with my ssh.
 I have virtual vde2 network that works already.
 I started one more vde hub for internal network, and runned whonix gw and
 whonix workstation without any modifications under qemu.
 So apt-get install ... works.
 But when I try to ssh to another address inside my local network 10.x.x.x
 libtorsocks complains about TCP DNS request and refuses to connect. When I
 ssh to the external address of the same box - it works.

 Connection is to local address (), may be a TCP DNS request to a local DNS
 server so have to reject to be safe. Please report a bug etc

 Whonix 9.3
 Linux host 3.2.0-4-686-pae Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 i686
