Description Geyang Kong 2012-07-09 01:32:37 EDT

Description of problem:
  4 options in the part "General options" of man page of virt-convert don't work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-virtinst-0.600.0-8.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure there is an image file and related xml file.
2. Run #man virt-convert, make sure there are 4 options in "General options": --os-type, --os-variant, --noapic, --noacpi
3. Run #virt-convert -i virt-image -o vmx $xml-file --debug
4. Run #qemu-img convert -O qcow2 $image-file1 $image-file2 -o?
5. Run #man qemu-img convert

Actual results:
1. After step 3, there is a line in debug info:
Thu, 28 Jun 2012 21:16:03 DEBUG    Running command: qemu-img convert -O qcow2 $image-file1 $image-file2
2. After step 4 and 5, there is nothing about these 4 options related with command: qemu-img convert

Expected results:
1. Theses 4 options should work well in virt-convert or they should be removed from man page of virt-convert

virtinst has been merged into virt-manager.git. Moving all virtinst bugs to the virt-manager component.

I'm confused by this bug, those commands certainly seem to work for me. If anyone can still reproduce, please provide the actual output which makes you think these options do not work.
