[virt-tools-list] problem starting virt manager

[Dan Bar Dov]

When I tried to install virtinst things started to get real crazy. It
installed under python2.5, for whatever reason (standard install of the OS)
I had both python2.5 and python2.6 installed.

I decided to do a clean OS install, of a different distro, hoping it'll be
more
up-to-date with virt-manager.

However, what I've learned from the experience is that the configure script
of virt-manager is pretty bad, and fails to check the relevant
depoendencies.
Also, I'd expect a better package documentation.

Thanks,
Dan
