Pkg xen devel - May 2013 - Bug#708396: xen-utils-common: network-bridge can't be used to create more than one bridge

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 4.1.4-3+deb7u1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I have a xen dom0 with more than one interface that I want to make bridges on

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I have my own bridge making script that calls network-bridge for each
interface.  This used to work in xen-4.0

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Only the first bridge got made

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected the other bridges to be made too.

The problem is the "brctl show" in op_start.  It makes op_start if
*any*
bridge already exists.  I guess it's supposed to check if the bridge being
created already exists.

I include a patch to fix the test, letting me create multiple bridges.
