[Pkg-xen-devel] xen-utils rebuild for stable (CVE-2007-4993)

[Steve Kemp]

Hi,

  I'm having difficulty applying and rebuilding the patch for
 the version of Xen included in Debian's Etch release.

  After applying the patch and updating the changelog I receive
 this error:

        else \

  Chmodding the file to make it executable results in a different
 build failure:

steve at dev:~/xen-3.0-3.0.3-0$ chmod 755 debian/bin/gencontrol.py
steve at dev:~/xen-3.0-3.0.3-0$ debuild -sa

  Looking at packages.debian.org I see 'gencontrol.py' is included
 in linux-support-2.6.18-5 - but installing thart doesn't help.

  Are you able to rebuild a package for the security team, or failing
 that can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
