[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#787229: Bug#787229: xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64: xl command hangs on Dell R720

[Ian Campbell]

I'm afraid I don't know what may or may not have happened to your
installation, just that this fake-start-stop-daemon thing is very likely
interfering with the operation of Xen by not actually starting daemons.

I suggest you try asking somewhere like the debian-users list to see if
anyone there knows what this thing is or what to do about it.

Ian.
