Package: xen-utils-4.4
Version: 4.4.1-9+deb8u8
Severity: normal
Under Xen 4.1 in Debian 7 (wheezy), the following works when included in a
DomU configuration in "/etc/xen/cfg/" --
bootloader = '/usr/lib/xen-default/bin/pygrub'
After upgrading to Xen 4.4 as part of an upgrade to Debian 8 (jessie), the
DomU silently fails to start. Examination of the log files shows that the
cause is that the old path for "bootloader" no longer exists. Correcting the
DomU configuration manually to the new path works --
bootloader = '/usr/lib/xen-4.4/bin/pygrub'
I would assume that creating a symlink would work also, and perhaps the
package installer should do it (in "/usr/lib", "ln -s xen-4.4 xen-default").
