Bugzilla – Bug 158831
xen-tools is missing some important libraries
Last modified: 2006-06-19 17:33:49 UTC
The following shared libs seem to be missing from the xen-tools rpm: /usr/lib/libxenctrl.so.3.0.0 /usr/lib/libxenguest.so.3.0.0 /usr/lib/libxenstore.so They are missed already during installation, but this time these files are really missing, so xen does not work.
xen-libs was split from xen-tools recently (don't have that bugzilla # handy, but there was a reason for doing so). But now xen-tools requires xen-libs: > rpm -qp --requires /opt/SuSE/data/CDs/full-x86_64/suse/x86_64/xen-tools.rpm xen-libs ...etc... Maybe the installer is not tracking dependencies correctly? Or, perhaps, is xen-libs not included on the CD?
I installed from 'factory', and xen-libs is not included there. The missing dependency was listed correctly. AFAIR the shared libs were missed by the installer.
Rudi, please add the package xen-libs to all media that have xen-tools including the factory tree. For now I updated http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs#SUSE_Linux_10.1_Beta8 and uploaded the package to the ftp server.
xen-libs is in status "candidate", not in "production" yet (request is pending)
It is now production.
Looks like this is fixed for Beta 8 and beyond.
