Hi Holger,

Thanks for this bug report, but I wonder if it's not just a false
positive, because on the environment you ran the test, xend can't start,
because it needs access to xendfs (eg: /proc/xen).

The dependencies in the init.d script for xcp-squeezed are:

# Provides:          xcp-squeezed
# Required-Start:    $remote_fs $syslog xend
# Required-Stop:     $remote_fs $syslog

so basically, it just requires xend. Then, from /etc/init.d/xend:

xenfs_setup()
{
        [ -e "/proc/xen/capabilities" ] && return 0
        log_progress_msg "xenfs"
        [ -d "/proc/xen" ] || return 1
        mount -t xenfs xenfs /proc/xen || return 1
        return 0
}

[ ... ]

case "$1" in
  start)
        log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC"
        modules_setup
        xenfs_setup

So, xend fails to start, because you're doing a test with puiparts,
which I really do expect to fail (eg: xend will never be able to start
in a chroot).

Let me know if you think I'm wrong here, and if I'm badly reading the
puipart report.
