[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#783901: libvirt-daemon: libvirtd does not recognize Xen guests

[Gerald Turner]

Package: libvirt-daemon
Version: 1.2.9-9
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have a server setup with Xen and 12 domU's strictly using Debian,
since squeeze, wheezy, and now jessie.  I had been minimally using
libvirt with munin-node to poll statistics.  After upgrading to jessie,
and converting Xen configuration to xl.cfg format, libvirt no longer
enumerates any of the domU's, and does not report any errors other than
information being empty.

For example:

  # virsh -c 'xen:///' list --all
   Id    Name                           State
  ----------------------------------------------------

Attached is "LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 libvirtd" output.  At line 10640 is a
conneection from the aforementioned 'virsh' command.  Shortly thereafter
there are logs like:

  2015-05-01 04:15:52.835+0000: 23215: debug : do_open:1145 : trying driver 5 (xenlight) ...

  2015-05-01 04:15:52.835+0000: 23215: debug : do_open:1152 : driver 5 xenlight returned SUCCESS

AFAICT this looks like the new libxl driver is getting used.
