An updated python-virtinst package that fixes a bug is now available.
The python-virtinst package contains virtinst, a module to help start
installations of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora inside a virtual
machine. It supports para-virtualized and fully-virtualized guests. As
well, the python-virtinst package contains a script, virt-install, which
uses virtinst in a command line mode.
When querying the top-level directory, the Red Hat Network (RHN) Satellite
kickstart trees do not serve a valid "HTTP 200 OK" response. This broke
the "virt-install" and "virt-manager" tools, which check if the top-level
directory is valid before starting the installation process.
In the previous python-virtinst package, an "Invalid install location"
error occurred when attempting to perform a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or 5
guest installation, which used a kickstart tree on an RHN Satellite Server.
In this updated package, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5 guests can be
installed using kickstart trees on RHN Satellite Servers.
All users of python-virtinst are advised to upgrade to this updated
package, which resolves this issue.
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
