[virt-tools-list] virt-manager reporting wrong virtinst version and refuse to start

[Bruno Lamps]

Hi,

There's a thread with this same title, in this list, from august 2010. Link:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2010-August/msg00075.html

I got this same problem. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 x64. I made some tests
with virt-manager 0.8.2, installed from ubuntu repositories, and then
downloaded the newest virt-manager and virt-inst from virt-manager website.
Compiled both sources as usual (opening INSTALL and following the
instructions), but got that error when trying to launch virt-manager:

Erro ao iniciar o Gerenciador de Máquina Virtual: virtinst version 0.500.1
is too old.

virt-manager requires the python-virtinst library version 0.500.5 or
greater. This can be downloaded at:

http://virt-manager.org/download.html

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 455, in
<module>
    main()
  File "/usr/local/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 370, in main
    "\n\n" + msg)
RuntimeError: virtinst version 0.500.1 is too old.

virt-manager requires the python-virtinst library version 0.500.5 or
greater. This can be downloaded at:

http://virt-manager.org/download.html


The output of

python -c 'import virtinst; print virtinst'

command is:

lamps at ubunteira:/opt/virtinst-0.500.5$ python -c 'import virtinst; print
virtinst'
<module 'virtinst' from 'virtinst/__init__.py'>

and the output for

sudo python setup.py install

is:

lamps at ubunteira:/opt/virtinst-0.500.5$ sudo python setup.py install

Does anybody have some hint about fixing this?

Thanks in advance ;D
