[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#912381: Bug#912381: xen-utils-4.11: /usr/lib/xen-4.11/bin/pygrub is missing after upgrade from xen-utils-4.8

[Torben Schou Jensen]

For info, I had same problem upgrading Xen 4.8 to Xen 4.11 on Debian Testing.

All my DOMU servers was setup with grub-legacy and required pygrub to boot.
Lucky me Xen 4.8 was not automatic removed during upgrade to 4.11, so
after first reboot DOMU could all reboot as they linked to pygrub from
4.8.
Now looking into changing DOMU boot to new method before I remove 4.8.

But in case someone upgrade to Xen 4.11 and remove Xen 4.8 at same time,
you can end with DOMU servers that can't boot, and no way to get into them
to replace grub package.

NB: My server setup is based on Xen from Debian Testing, years back it was
recommended as Xen on Debian Stable was a little behind. Sometimes a
little risky due to many updates on Debian Testing, but when I upgrade
every 2-3 months it all go as planned without long stop.
