Package: xen-utils-3.1-1
Version: 3.1.0-2
Severity: normal

blktap support was re-enabled in 3.1.0-1, however the required 'tapdisk'
executable needs to be symlinked in order to actually make it usable.

For me, symlinking /usr/lib/xen-3.1-1/bin/tapdisk to /usr/sbin/tapdisk
fixed the problem, and DomU's using blktap disks would run properly.
