I Am Not A Xenologist, but see http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=xen There's no such package in Lenny; its equivalent was the old xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-* metapackage (pulling in an old-style hypervisor and a xenlinux kernel). That doesn't turn into a dummy dependency package in Squeeze - it just disappears from the listings and leaves users scratching their heads. Mind you, how does this interact with the requirement in the generic upgrade procedure for a kernel change to handle udev? Might that fix it, if xen users are going to need a 2.6.32 xen kernel with extra metapackaginess before they can upgrade the rest of the system? -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and PROBABLY NO CLUE ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PACKAGE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
