[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#659770: cannot create new VM: Uncaught error validating install parameters: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_parent'

[Marc Haber]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.9.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I am running virt-manager on sid while connecting to a squeeze host
with backported libvirt 0.9.8-2. When trying to create a new VM, I get
the error message:

Uncaught error validating install parameters: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_parent'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1456, in validate
    return self.validate_install_page(oldguest=oldguest)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1603, in validate_install_page
    self.conn, path)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/uihelpers.py", line 875, in check_path_search_for_qemu
    set_error_parent(parent)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/uihelpers.py", line 49, in set_error_parent
    err_dial.set_parent(parent)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_parent'

Greetings
Marc
