[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#757293: libvirt-daemon-system (1.2.7-3) fails to start

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: libvirt-daemon-system
Followup-For: Bug #757293

Hello,

MMMh, my bad I guess

As the libvirt-bin package has been renamed to libvirt-daemon-system,
the preinst script part that stop the daemon cleanly is not executed
since libvirt-daemon-system was not installed before...

What could be done:

 - Remove the -nl part of the version comparaison, this will execute the
   stop and the deb-systemd-helper actions even if the package was not
   installed before (we need to be sure that d-s-h is not giving us an
   error if the old service file is inexistant)
 - Try to guess what is last configured version of libvirt-bin package
   instead of using the version passed by dpkg
 - Move (or duplicate) the code in libvirt-bin preinst

I'm wondering if with the 2nd and 3rd option we might not run in cases
(libvirt-bin being removed at the same time libvirt-daemon-system is
being installed) where the stop and d-s-h is not executed as it should
(might be wrong here).

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
