0.400.0-3 has another kind of errors:

morron:/tmp# virt-install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 34, in <module>
    import virtinst
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/virtinst/__init__.py", line
28, in <module>
    from Guest import Guest, VirtualNetworkInterface, XenGuest, \
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/virtinst/Guest.py", line 326
    if os.getuid() == 0:
                       ^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
morron:/tmp#

After fixing that and a couple of other TabError's, I found that
running virt-install without parameters as before gave me no
interactive creation of the virtual machine:

morron:/tmp# virt-install
ERROR    A name is required for the virtual machine.
morron:/tmp#


Saludos,
Nahuel Greco.
