[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#489325: [xen-utils-common] xm new requires python-xml to work

[Laurent Léonard]

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 3.2.0-2
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
This bug is a duplicate of the bug #487165, but I tagged it as wishlist and I 
have no answer about it. But I think it should be interesting to correct it, 
sorry for this.

xm new requires the python-xml package to work, perhaps it should be a 
dependency of xen-utils-common ?

debian:~# xm new test.cfg
Unexpected error: <type 'exceptions.ImportError'>
