[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#536720: xen-utils-3.2-1: Missing import statement / Syntax Errors in XendPBD.py

[Andreas Florath]

Package: xen-utils-3.2-1
Severity: important


Hello!

When using xenapi.PBD.create() the following error occurs:
xen.xm.XenAPI.Failure: Internal error: global name 'genuuid' is not defined.
(Attached you can find the logging of the remote host.)

This (and other syntax errors) are already fixed in the
xen-unstable.hg (see
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/7fd49c55c0b0).

The xenapi.PBD.create() is mostly one step to create a new
vm, so the XenAPI can currently not be used to create new VMs.

It would be great to add the patch to the lenny package.

Kind regards

Andreas Florath
