31 I can honestly say that I haven't experienced so much pain working with
32 libvirt/virt-manger. If I had I probably would have given up, but I've
33 been using it for years now.

35 What versions of packages are you using? Are you mixing stable/unstable packages?
36
37 I can't really say. I've never seen that error before. What steps are
38 you taking to create the VM?
