Ah, yes building an rpm from the extracted tarball has some issues, I'll
fix these upstream. For future reference, you can just do:

rpmbuild -ta virtinst-0.400.3.tar.gz

And it will build an rpm. To install without an rpm, 'cd' into the
checkout and run:

python setup.py build && python setup.py install

Thanks,
