[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#487682: Bug#487682: [libvirt0] Libvirt refers to the inexistant path /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader

[Marco Sinhoreli]

There is a ticket (#481105) relating this issue in pkg-xen-devel. If
the pkg-xen-devel team didn't fix it will be necessary fix it in
virtinst package. Guido, what you think about this suggestion? I can
do the patch to fix it.

Cheers,
