Package: netatalk
Version: 2.2.1-1
Severity: normal
atalkd appears to be unable to open virtual network interfaces when
run in a Xen PV guest. I don't know if it's a Xen or Netatalk problem.
With nothing set in atalkd.conf, it reports :
eth0: disabled.
atalkd: zero interfaces, exiting.
Adding "eth0" to atalkd.conf results in :
eth0: Invalid argument
Can't configure multicast.
eth0: disabled.
atalkd: zero interfaces, exiting.
This happens with netatalk from stable or testing.
If the entire VM is moved to a physical host (ie running native with
no virtualisation), then atalkd works as expected. This physical
machine has a GeForce chipset and the forcedeth network driver. the
only changes were to use eth1 instead of eth0, and make the system
bootable with GRUB.
