cannot install virt-manager (virtinst not installable)

[Paolo Borelli]

I tried to install virt-manager on latest hardy as of today, but I get:

virt-manager:
 Depends: virtinst but it is not installable

[Sami Haahtinen (ressu)]

virtinst package generaties python-virtinst binary. Should virt-manager depend on that?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package virt-manager - 0.5.2-3ubuntu1

---------------
virt-manager (0.5.2-3ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Change dependency on virtinst to python-virtinst. (LP: #179196)
  * Modify Maintainer value to match the DebianMaintainerField
    specification.

I'm also seeing this behavior on Gutsy:

$ sudo apt-get install virt-manager
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  virt-manager: Depends: python-virtinst but it is not installable
                Depends: python-gtk-vnc but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

Getting exactly the same error message as strangedata on Gutsy - will there be a fix somewhen?

Problem still exists on Gutsy. Trying to install virt-manager (from gutsy backports) results in the following:
virt-manager:
 Depends: python-virtinst but it is not installable

Fix released as it is now installing fine in Hardy (soon to be 8.04) and does not qualify for SRU. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for details.
