virt-manager on 16.04 as host does not allow creation of 16.04 or 15.10 virtual machines

[Lyn Perrine]

To reproduce install virt-manager on an installatoin of 16.04 ubuntu xenial and apply the latest updates. Then download another option of ubuntu 16.04 as a guest. The try to attach the iso image of 16.04 and select 16.04 as the vm type in the virt-manager. Then I get a python error that it treis to create a vm and ends up recursorly calling itself in a long time.

rror setting up default devices:maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object with informatoin about it in an attached file not sure if apport attaches this by itself though.

Description: Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch)
Release: 16.04

virt-manager:
  Installed: 1:1.2.1-4ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:1.2.1-4ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:1.2.1-4ubuntu1 500

I expected this to allow me to create a vm of xenial on top of my xenial host like I was able to do for many times in wily with virt-manager 1.1.0 even if xenial was not listed as an option. However selecting 15.04 lets me get past the create vm dialog.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

You cannot install 15.10, either...

Cheers, looks like there's a buggy ubuntu.xml in libosinfo
