Package: virt-manager
Version: 1:1.2.1-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Trying to build a new VM.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Clicking through the interface; with "change configuration before installation"
I got the error
	Namespace SpiceClientGtk not available

   * What was the outcome of this action?
UI stopped at same screen, no VM installation started

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
VM should have started



virt-manager.log says this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1784, in finish
    self.customize(guest)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1817, in customize
    self.config_window = vmmDetails(virtinst_guest, self.topwin)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/details.py", line 373, in __init__
    from .console import vmmConsolePages
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/console.py", line 32, in <module>
    from .viewers import SpiceViewer, VNCViewer, have_spice_gtk
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/viewers.py", line 29, in <module>
    gi.require_version('SpiceClientGtk', '3.0')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 100, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace SpiceClientGtk not available

After installing 
	gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-spice-client-gtk-2.0
I could click through normally.

(And got stopped by the next problem:
	unsupported configuration: vmport is not available with this QEMU binary
but that's a different story...)
