virt-manager - libvirtd error after upgrade to 0.10.0-2

As part of the upgrade virt-manager needed to remove virtinst-0.600.4-1
virtinst does not seem to exist as a package in the repositories any more.

After the upgrade I receive the following error messages when starting virtmanager.

I have had to uninstall virt-manager , and then install virtinst-0.600.4-1 and virt-manager-0.9.5-1 from the pkg cache to get virtmanager working again. (and added virtmanager to IgnorePkg for now)

I'm guessing it's an authentication / group issue but I'm not sure how to solve it ?
