Pkg xen devel - May 2011 - Bug#626644: xen-utils-4.1: xl fails because /var/lib/xen is missing

Package: xen-utils-4.1
Version: 4.1.0-3
Severity: normal


After *manually* creating /var/lib/xen xl create <configfile> worked fine.
Probably it would be better to have the directory created when installing
this package?

Error when /var/lib/xen is missing:
 xl create /etc/xen/domU/sandbox-debian-unstable.cfg -c
Parsing config file /etc/xen/domU/sandbox-debian-unstable.cfg
