virt-manager in Ubuntu appears to work OK for me (0.9.5-1ubuntu1.1).

A better idea is:

  $ sudo apt-get build-dep virt-manager

It works for me after following Cole's instructions:

  $ ./virt-install --version
  1.0.0

I suspect what has happened is you've got multiple conflicting
versions of the Python libraries installed all over the place.  That's
likely to give you random breakage.
