[hardy] /usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py python traceback

[Sol Jerome]

Binary package hint: virt-manager

Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04

virt-manager:
  Installed: 0.5.3-0ubuntu8
  Candidate: 0.5.3-0ubuntu8
  Version table:
 *** 0.5.3-0ubuntu8 0
        500 http://ftp.utexas.edu hardy/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The virt-manager.py script fails apparently because it is looking in the wrong place:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 304, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 214, in main
    setup_pypath()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 60, in setup_pypath
    if os.path.exists(os.getcwd() + "../gnome/help/virt-manager/C/virt-manager.xml"):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/posixpath.py", line 171, in exists
    st = os.stat(path)
KeyboardInterrupt

Commenting out lines 60/61 of virt-manager.py and adding:

data_dir = "/usr/share"

Gets rid of the above traceback.

You're supposed to run it as just "virt-manager", not run virt-manager.py directly.
