The default version:
ii  libvirt-bin                         0.4.6-10                   the programs for the libvirt library
ii  libvirt0                            0.4.6-10                   library for interfacing with different virtu

I actually just tried again using virt-manager with libvirt 0.8.3-1
and I got the same problem. I've got 3 servers with Lenny that I can't
connect to. A fourth server is running Lenny with a kernel, kvm and
libvirt from backports and I can connect to that one without problems.
