Pkg xen devel - Dec 2010 - Bug#606590: Upgrading from Lenny leaves xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 in and doesn't install 4.0

Package: xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64
Version: 4.0.1-1
Severity: serious
Tags: squeeze

Hi there!

Upgrading from Lenny to Squeeze left my box with xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64
installed, and I had to "apt-get install xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64"
manually
to have it installed after a dist-upgrade. This for sure, isn't the expected
behavior.

Also, after the dist-upgrade, I did:
apt-get install xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-amd

because it wasn't installed either. Surprisingly, instead of installing the
4.0 hypervisor, dependencies were satisfied, and I had both the
xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 and xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
left installed on my server. I believe xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
should depend on xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 just xen-hypervisor-amd64 (and it
should be the same for the i686 flavor).

I'd be happy to provide patches if needed, but it should be trivial
dependency tweaks.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Yes it is. As with every versioned binary package.
