Description Albert W. Hopkins 2009-11-04 19:10:15 UTC 
virt-manager depends on libvirt, but the ebuild does not require or check that libvirt is installed with the "python" USE flag.

When this happens virt-manager fails as shown:

$ virt-manager 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-manager.py", line 26, in <module>
    import libvirt
ImportError: No module named libvirt

The work-around is to ensure that libvirt is installed with the "python" USE flag.
