This was fixed in the 3.2.0-0ubuntu6 upload. Thanks for the good work Chuck!

Hmm. Well, the build failure is fixed, but the issue is not resolved :-)

Hi Chuck... I hate to be the bearer of bad news :-)

That is, something in apt land seems to be conspiring against you :-)

Does anyone have a workaround for this this or some sort of ubuntu+xen-3.2 HOWTO, because due to thiese nsty packaging pbs my mileage with xen-3.2 is very depressive so far...

The attached debdiff readd the init scripts (just copying what was done for xen 3.1).

I can verify that the patch from Lionel worked, however the scripts themselves seem to have an error, since they are referencing field 0 in a cut command and that is not allowed.

I'm afraid we still not have any init scripts with last upload. Reopening.
Paul is right, there are some error, I'll check it tomorrow.

I was a little surprised, since I had built my own packages, and then immediately upon installing found out that the same change had also been pushed into the repository.

workaround

xen ist enable by "xend start" manually.

if somebody wan't they can create a link in the init.d directory
and activate it with update-rc.d

Chuck: could you please take a look at it?
