Package: vzctl
Version: 3.0.24-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

When calling `vzctl start` on a newly created container (with debootstrap), I 
get an error saying this:
"vps-net_add WARNING: Device list is empty"

This seems to be a very obscure problem but it undermines the usability of 
networked VEs.
One report on the Web (http://www.hetlab.tk/hoefnix1/geen-device-list) 
suggested to me that this is an incompatibility with mawk.
To quote (via Google Translate from NL): "Am now beginning to suspect that a 
change is not compatible with mawk - a clone of the awk - version on Debian 
Etch is used. On the Strato server we have running the latest gawk ..."
As soon as I installed gawk, the problem has disappeared. Therefore, I think 
that
gawk is required as a dependency of vzctl.
Note that my particular configuration might have an impact on this bug, however 
this is still a bug in the package itself because it breaks under normal usage 
conditions (no code modifications).
Therefore, please see the enclosed configuration (2 snippets below) if unable 
to reproduce.
