Package: src:xen Version: 4.16.0-1~exp1
I'm guilty of pulling in later Xen source and building it based on
the experimental 4.16 packaging. As such this may actually only be
an issue for a package version beyond 4.16.0.
I'm uncertain which it is, but xen-utils-4.16 appears to need an
update to one or more of libxencall1, libxenevtchn1,
libxenforeignmemory1, libxengnttab1 and/or libxentoollog1 in order to
function.
During my initial update I merely updated libxenmisc4.16 and
libxenstore4. In this condition something (I suspect xenstored) was
rather broken and things were unusable.
Notably `xl list` was hanging. I was unable to get VMs started and
it felt like everything wanted to explode.
This one is really too vague to be able to react to in any sensible manner.
Reading it was a fun experience though. It made me think of creating a
bingo card with 30 possible things that a bug reporter can say that are
a synonym of "it doesn't work".
I hope this message does not come across as offensive, it's in no way
meant as such. :D
I do appreciate your contributions and you sharing thoughts about
possible things that could be done and could be improved.
However, I hope you understand that there's no way we can help when you
use something else than the actual packages in Debian, do not provide
any error messages seen, and describe what you see instead as "it felt
like everything wanted to explode".
For me, Xen 4.16 does run OK on my test servers, FWIW.
Have fun,
Hans
