[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#567467: virt-manager: cannot create a new virtual network

[Giovanni Toraldo]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.7.0-2~bpo50+1
Severity: important

I am trying to create a new virtual network and at the end of the wizard I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createnet.py", line 301, in finish
    self.conn.create_network(xml)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/connection.py", line 718, in create_network
    self.nets[uuid] = vmmNetwork(self.config, self, net, uuid, False)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/network.py", line 36, in __init__
    self._xml = self.net.XMLDesc(0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 590, in XMLDesc
    if ret is None: raise libvirtError ('virNetworkGetXMLDesc() failed', net=self)
libvirtError: invalid network pointer in no network with matching uuid

This error is also reported on ubuntu:

Thanks.
