Package: xen-utils-3.0
Version: 3.0.2+hg9697-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Below you find the output of apt-get install xen-utils-3.0 .
/usr/sbin/xend tries tom import the python scripts from
/usr/lib/python as well as from /usr/lib64/python ; both directories
do not exist on my system, I have python2.4 installed.
(With both python2.3 and python2.4 installed I had the same error.)
(When forcing an install of libxen-python, which is no more existent
in the repository, 'xend start' does work.)
The problem is obviously connected with the python transition.

This bug is grave, because xen-utils-3.0 is broken after install and
cannot be removed via apt / dpkg. I had to manually do prerm (fails,
partially), delete, postrm.

I have this problem for at least a week now.
