Xen users - Oct 2011 - The script hotplugpath.sh is missing in /etc/xen/scripts

Hello everyone,

Under Debian 6 I''m trying to use xen networking in routed mode, and
have
encountered a bug in xen-common whereby the file hotplugpath.sh is not
generated.
This file is sourced by several other scripts, and xend wont restart without
it.

This is already dealt with here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591456

The fix has been uploaded to Debian sid, and I don''t really want to
compile
this one package myself just to get this one file.
Does someone have a copy of this file (hotplugpath.sh) which I can simply
copy into place? If there is a more correct way of getting this working
I''d
be grateful to find out.

Thanks!

Aaron,

I had the same problem and I believe  I found the answer here 
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-xen-devel/2011-March/003229.html 
there is a link on that page to an updated package.

A little disclaimer: I am new to Xen, this is my first attempt to use Xen, 
and I had this problem and I think this was the solution, but during the 
learning curve I failed to take notes. Just so your aware I not a
"pro".

Barry

On the above site click on "xen-utils-common" -> 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=xen-utils-common
Click on "xen-utils-common package page" -> 
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=xen-utils-common
Click on "sid (unstable)" ->
http://packages.debian.org/sid/xen-utils-common
Click on "all" (next to "Architecture" with the headline
"Download
xen-utils-common") -> 
http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/xen-utils-common/download
Choose a mirror and download the sid-package with the file in it.

(This works for all Debian packages.)

How to extract files from .deb? Throw "extract deb package" in a
search
engine and get http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/116

*Maybe* it is possible to simply install (dpkg -i ...) the sid-package 
in your Debian. I will not test it on my system. ;-)

Aaron,

I tried Paul''s answer and it worked, even updated the version I spoke
of in
my earlier post. What I did, following the instructions on the last page
Paul referred to, is add "deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid
main" to
my /etc/apt/sources.list (without the quotes) then did;
apt-get update
apt-get install xen-utils-common
You will have to be root to do this.
In the above mirror change ''us'' to a mirror near you.

Hope that helps,
Barry
PS sorry Paul I meant to send this to the list.

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for the advice, I was able to follow Paul Musters'' guide
and
extracted the file from the Debian Sid package and copied it into place.

Thanks once again,
-Aaron

I don''t know if this (adding the above line to sources.list) is a good 
idea. Do you know/use APT-Pinning? Or do you have "default-release"
set
in /etc/apt/preferences?

What shows

# apt-get upgrade -s

? Will it upgrade your complete system to Sid?

No problem. :-)

Paul
