You should ask questions on one of the proper mailing lists.  I've
CC'd this to fedora-virt.

Segfaults are almost certainly because you're trying to install a
guest >= F12 on an F11 host.  There's some ABI incompatibility in
glibc which causes fakeroot to segfault in this case.

Install an F11 guest if you have an F11 host, or upgrade to F12 host.
