[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#1007989: virt-manager: Error launching create dialog

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 1:4.0.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When I run virt-manager and try to create a new VM I get a dialog box saying:

    Error launching create dialog:
    programming error: Did not find widget name = disk-detect-zeros

In the "details" dialog it also has:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 176, in show_instance
        cls._instance = vmmCreateVM()
      File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 202, in __init__
        self._addstorage = vmmAddStorage(self.conn, self.builder, self.topwin)
      File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/device/addstorage.py", line 59, in __init__
        def _cleanup(self):
      File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/device/addstorage.py", line 118, in _init_ui
        skip_paths = src.config.get_perms_fix_ignore()
      File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/baseclass.py", line 311, in widget
        raise xmlutil.DevError("Did not find widget name=%s" % name)
            virtinst.xmlutil.DevError: programming error: Did not find widget name=disk-detect-zeroes

If I run it as `virt-manager --debug --no-fork` it still seems to fork, but I see this on
the console:
