Package: virtinst Version: 1:3.2.0-3 Severity: normal Virt-install's man page and virt-install --help both say to use the following command to get the list of valid OS variant names: osinfo-query os
But this command is provided by libosinfo-bin which is not a dependency of virtinst and so was not installed on my system. I had to search on internet to find the Debian package that provides it. I believe it should be at least a recommended package.
