Package: xen-tools
Version: 2.7-1
Severity: normal
If you run a 64 bit xen dom0/domU, the disable-tls script should not be run.
The TLS issue doesn't exist on a 64 bit kernel, not even on 32 bit
userland (--arch i386). Disabling TLS cripples libpthread.
The script already errors for 64 bit installs:
case "${dist}" in
etch|sid)
logMessage "Installing xen-aware libc6"
installDebianPackage ${prefix} libc6-xen
;;
On 64 bit platforms, libc6-xen doesn't exist.

Suggestion: exclude /usr/lib/xen-tools/*/*-disable-tls from the
xen-tools package on 64 bit platforms.
Mike.
