Another attempt yielded a slightly better output. I invoked another install in other lenny, amd_64, and this time got a log file. This is a different fault. I hope you would persevere with it to straighten lenny out comprehensively.
I attempted to install a backport of python-libvirt, but it appears there isn't
one.
see attached. another xml dump.
