Based on the traceback it looks like it is either a strange XML error
or some sort of conflict with the disk.

These scripts are all python, so you could read them to track down the
issue a bit more. You may also want to check with the libvirt users
mailing list (https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users)
so see if they can more easily spot the issue.

I wonder if it is an issue with one or more of the options that you
pass to virt-install? Nothing is jumping out at me, but maybe someone
else on the list (or the libvirt list) will have more hints

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Todd
