Package: xen-tools Version: 4.2-1 Severity: normal
If apt is configured with sources.list.d (and not sources.list), then xt-guess-suite-and-mirror won't guess anything. It looks like it makes no attempt at all to parse sources.list.d. This means that xen-create-image, with the default xen-tools.conf with reasonable modifications, will fail because it can't find any directory named /usr/lib/xen-tools/.d, because the "dist" option is empty, because xt-guess-suite-and-mirror doesn't write anything to stdout. Further, it exits with zero status so the real problem is masked. Setting the "dist" and "mirror" options to not use xt-guess-suite-and-mirror seems to work around the problem, but given the silent failure of xt-guess-suite-and-mirror, realizing this takes a bit of work. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xen-tools depends on: ii debootstrap 1.0.26+squeeze1 Bootstrap a basic Debian system ii libconfig-inifiles-per 2.52-1 Read .ini-style configuration file ii libfile-slurp-perl 9999.13-1 single call read & write file rout ii libtext-template-perl 1.45-1 Text::Template perl module ii perl-modules 5.10.1-17squeeze2 Core Perl modules Versions of packages xen-tools recommends: ii libexpect-perl 1.20-2 Expect.pm - Perl Expect interface ii rinse 1.7-1 RPM installation environment ii xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 [xen 4.0.1-4 The Xen Hypervisor on AMD64 pn xen-shell <none> (no description available) Versions of packages xen-tools suggests: pn btrfs-tools <none> (no description available) pn cfengine2 <none> (no description available) pn evms-cli <none> (no description available) pn reiserfsprogs <none> (no description available) ii xen-utils-4.0 [xen-utils] 4.0.1-4 XEN administrative tools pn xfsprogs <none> (no description available) -- Configuration Files: /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf changed: lvm = vmimages install-method = debootstrap size = 2Gb # Disk image size. memory = 128Mb # Memory size swap = 1Gb # Swap size fs = ext3 # use the EXT3 filesystem for the disk image. dist = `xt-guess-suite-and-mirror --suite` # Default distribution to install. image = sparse # Specify sparse vs. full disk images. gateway = 172.20.20.1 netmask = 255.255.255.0 broadcast = 172.20.20.255 passwd = 1 kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r` initrd = /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` mirror = `xt-guess-suite-and-mirror --mirror` ext3_options = noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro ext2_options = noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro xfs_options = defaults reiserfs_options = defaults btrfs_options = defaults pygrub = 1 vcpus = 1 role = macpros_puppet -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
