Installation fails: Missing type converters: unsigned long long *:1 ERROR: failed virDomainMigrateGetMaxDowntime

[miradam]

Hi, I'm having similar issue to already reported one although mine is bit different.
I'm receiving the following error:
Missing type converters:
unsigned long long *:1
ERROR: failed virDomainMigrateGetMaxDowntime
error: command '/usr/bin/python' failed with exit status 1

I have the following packages defined in /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager/virt-manager.rb
-- snip

Any ideas?

I'm sorta new to virt-manager, but /usr/bin/python is Python 2.7.10 which is the one exiting with status 1, and I see its trying to download Python 3.4.0 as well.

Facing the same issue with HighSierra 10.13. Please find the output of the issue in the attached file brew-virt-manager-issue.txt.

Upgrading libvirt-python-3.7.0 instead of libvirt-python-3.4.0 to solved the issue:

go to /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager/virt-manager.rb and update:

  resource "libvirt-python" do
    url "https://libvirt.org/sources/python/libvirt-python-3.7.0.tar.gz"
    sha256 "1e4a8a8b08ef8f2502088f26ce3aced415d55ef808d8301dfed023f45154c06f"
  end
