Pkg xen devel - Oct 2018 - Bug#912441: Bug#912441: xen-utils-4.11: package missing pygrub binaries

Package: xen-utils-4.11
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

We have discovered that the `pygrub` binaries, expected under
`/usr/lib/xen-4.11/bin`, are no longer present in the
xen-utils-4.11 package.

Reviewing the source package reveals that the binary is still present under
`tools/pygrub/src/pygrub`, however it is not
referenced anywhere obvious in the package build configurations, nor is there
any changelog indication that it has been
moved or removed.

The other files present in that source directory are installed under
`/usr/lib/xen-4.11/lib/python/grub`, just not the
binary.

This negatively affects any Xen system requiring `pygrub` to function.

Thanks for testing the package.

The file is indeed missing, while it should be there.

There's an exclude in debian/rules, which is too broad.

The fix:

I did attempt this, but it looks like there's some other dependencies
missing when I do so, for instance:

or directory

And it looks like the same issue occurs on a rebuild of the packages with the
fix applied (took the `apt-get source`,
modified `rules`).

Yes, there's more breakage. There's another bug, #912381, issued just a
bit earlier than your one. There's more info in there already:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=912381

Let's continue in there.
