[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#619977: xen-utils-common: Missing /etc/udev/rules.d/xend.rules and /etc/udev/rules.d/xen-backend.rules

[beefsprocket]

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 4.0.0-1
Severity: normal


A strange issue, when deploying Xen using Puppet, /etc/udev/rules.d/xend.rules and /etc/udev/rules.d/xen-backend.rules files are empty.

Specifically, the symlinks point to ../xend.rules and ../xen-backend.rules respectively in /etc/udev, but neither of those files exist.

Manually copying those files from another host that was not deployed using Puppet works.

Both hosts have the same Xen packages installed:

libxenstore3.0
linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
linux-image-xen-amd64
xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64
xen-qemu-dm-4.0
xen-utils-4.0
xen-utils-common
xenstore-utils

Without those udev rules in place, Xen cannot create the necessary devices to start a domU.
