Kayshap, the error message is the same but these are two completely different components. Please open a separate virtinst bug about your issue. Reassigning back to yum
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19
This has been fixed by the upstream commit 363b3ad8089e4d45da272ee29b31a52b68ddf6ff and is already in Fedora.
