[Pkg-xen-devel] Debian version and xend

[Paul van der Vlis]

Hello,

I just upgraded my 64-bits dom0 from Etch to Lenny, I am still running
the 2.6.18 Xen kernel by apt-pinning it (see later).

But now xend does not start anymore:

------------
xen:~# /etc/init.d/xend start
Starting XEN control daemon: xendTraceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/xend", line 40, in <module>

    import xen.lowlevel.xc

 failed!

I saw bug #485598 what says it's the default Python version what gives
the problem. With Python 2.4 there is no problem.

What is the best way to use Python 2.4 for Xend, when this is true?

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.


BTW: This is in my /etc/apt/preferences:
