Package: virtinst
Version: 0.500.3-2
Severity: important
Justification: Some functionality is unavailable
virt-install appears to convert existing disk image files sizes to
gigabytes at around line 650 of VirtualDisk.py which has this code:
newsize = float(newsize) / 1024.0 / 1024.0 / 1024.0
Even with floppy disk images. Whether the above assumption is actually what
happens, the
consequence is that I get this error:

This is the actual file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1474560 Jun 11 21:46 /var/lib/libvirt/images/fd.img
Note that this floppy image was okay in the RHEL6 beta where I created it ans
used it for several Debian Squeeze installs using
python-virtinst-0.500.3-7.el6.noarch or (slightly) earlier.
Note, if the disk image is missing, this message arises:
ERROR A size must be specified for non-existent disks.
It does not identify the problem file, and the text is slightly different
although the meaning,
it seems, is the same.
