libvirt.libvirtError: Cannot access CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem'

[brainstorm]

It is my impression that "/etc/pki" directory is a RedHat-specific thing. Shouldn't it look under "/etc/ca-certificates" ?

Does it make sense to generate such a self-signed certificate on python-vm-builder's postinstall ?:

Can you try again with a correct libvirt uri? :) Namely, qemu:///system (note: 3 slashes)

Soren, indeed, I just figured it out myself right now :-S Marking invalid...
