Thanks for the report, I reproduced. Indeed we aren't using lxml, but virtinst is setting a libxml2 error callback of its own which appears to be the culprit, disabling it avoids the crash but results in libxml2 spewing warnings on the console. It's been there for a while so I'm surprised this hasn't come up before... I'll just drop it Thanks, Cole _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
