This bug also affects lucid.
Starting virt-manager fails with following error:

---

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 410, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 317, in main
    raise RuntimeError(str(e) + "\n\n" + msg)
RuntimeError: No module named version

virt-manager requires the python-virtinst library version 0.500.1 or greater. This can be downloaded at:

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

---

python-virtinst is installed in version 0.500.1-2ubuntu6.
virt-manager is installed in version 0.8.2-2ubuntu8.

This makes the package 'virt-manager' totally unusable in lucid.

Sorry for this mistake. The report seemed to be similar to my error message ;-)
This bug report belongs to the packages virt-manager and/or python-virtinst. Please bring this in the right order.

Is this still an issue for you? Which Ubuntu version do you use? Thank you for telling us!
