Package: virtinst Version: 0.600.1-3+deb7u1 Severity: normal This is not the same as #745537, as it occurs on a wheezy system without backports. Weirdly, it has worked before, and I cannot figure out what has changed in the last half year or so.
Packages:
ii python-libvirt 0.9.12.3-1 amd64
ii qemu-kvm 1.1.2+dfsg-6+deb7u3 amd64
ii virtinst 0.600.1-3+deb7u1 all
Here is the debug log output. Look down for "******"
