[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#521089: virtinst: virt-install fails - Values instance has no attribute 'os_variant'

[Andreas Unterkircher]

Package: virtinst
Version: 0.400.3-1
Severity: normal


When I try to create a new guest with virt-install and the following options:

sudo virt-install -n pbuild-vie-lenny -r 512 --arch=i686 --os-variant='debianlenny' -v --pxe -f /srv/guests/pbuild-vie-lenny_hda.img -b br0 --vnc

I get back a python error message:

ERROR    Values instance has no attribute 'os_variant'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 780, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 592, in main
    cli.get_memory(options.memory, guest, options.os_variant)
AttributeError: Values instance has no attribute 'os_variant'

By replacing options.os_variant with options.distro_variant - I
do not see where options.os_variant would ever get set - it works.
Or maybe it would have to be guest.os_variant, which works too.


Cheers,
Andreas
