RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This was filed against fedora, it may be relevant for RHEL7.1 though so we should confirm.

Comment 3 Xiaodai Wang 2015-06-23 06:45:03 UTC 
I can reproduce this bug with package:
virt-install-1.1.0-13.el7.noarch.rpm  
virt-manager-1.1.0-13.el7.noarch.rpm  
virt-manager-common-1.1.0-13.el7.noarch.rpm

Steps:
1. Remove pygobject3-base package.
# rpm -qa pygobject3*
pygobject3-base-3.8.2-6.el7.x86_64
pygobject3-3.8.2-6.el7.x86_64
# rpm -e --nodeps pygobject3-base-3.8.2-6.el7.x86_64
2. Install below packages successfully without report dependecy error.
virt-install-1.1.0-13.el7.noarch.rpm  
virt-manager-1.1.0-13.el7.noarch.rpm  
virt-manager-common-1.1.0-13.el7.noarch.rpm
3. install a guest with virt-install command.
# virt-install --name bugtest --memory 1024 --disk none -l http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.1-20150219.1/compose/Server/x86_64/os
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virt-install", line 29, in <module>
    import virtinst
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/__init__.py", line 85, in <module>
    from virtinst.distroinstaller import DistroInstaller
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/distroinstaller.py", line 28, in <module>
    from . import osdict
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/osdict.py", line 25, in <module>
    from gi.repository import Libosinfo as libosinfo
ImportError: No module named gi.repository


Then try to verify with latest build:
virt-install-1.2.1-2.el7.noarch.rpm  
virt-manager-1.2.1-2.el7.noarch.rpm  
virt-manager-common-1.2.1-2.el7.noarch.rpm

Steps:
1. Install virt-manager with latest version without pygobject3-base installed, a dependency error reports.
rpm -ivh virt-manager-common-1.2.1-2.el7.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
	pygobject3-base is needed by virt-manager-common-1.2.1-2.el7.noarch
2. Install pygobject3-base package and install the latest virt-manager.
