Description of problem: virt-clone tool fails when cloning (QEMU) images between storage types (eg partition -> file). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create virtual machine with image stored on partition 2. Attempt to use virt-clone tool with new image stored in disk file (eg "sudo virt-clone -o orig_image -n new_image -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/new_image.img") Actual results: Fails with python exception reporting index out of bounds Expected results: Clone should succeed Additional info: I have tracked the exception to the "_change_disk_type" method in "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/CloneManager.py". Removal of code involving the variable "driv_name" fixes the problem - the xml configuration file for the original virtual machine does not contain a "/domain/devices/disk[%d]/driver/@name" entry that this method attempts to read and manipulate.
Thanks for the report. Consequently I have been going through the virt-clone code for use in virt-manager, and hit this same issue. I have a fix in my local tree which I will commit today.

Fixed upstream now: http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-virt.cgi/applications/virtinst--devel/rev/5a3373625918 We will be cutting a new release at the end of the week, which will contain this fix. Until then, moving to POST.
[Fedora 10 64-bit] I have the latest released updates for Fedora 10, that has python-virtinst 0.400.0-5.fc10 However this still has a problem with virt-clone .. .specifically I am getting exactly the same message as noted in Bug # 480715 (marked as a duplicate of this bug). Attempting to run virt-clone of a Fedora 10 image to create a new Fedora 10 image generates the error: "ERROR list index out of range" Is the problem due to the fact that the latest version of python-virtinst hasn't yet hit the Fedora 10 released repos, or is there still a problem as per bug # 480715?
Yes, the latest (fixed) version is not yet in F10. I will be pushing it to updates-testing soon.

I too encountered the "list index out of range" error when attempting to clone and python-virtinst-0.400.3-1.fc10 did make that error go away for me.
python-virtinst-0.400.3-1.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
