[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#922033: Bug#922033: xen: driver domain does not work

[Marek Marczykowski-Górecki]

Preliminary test results of something based on debian-xen master branch:
Xen version detection seems fundamentally wrong when talking about domU
side. I've installed relevant packages in buster-based domU, then tried
manually `xl devd`. The result:

    ERROR:  Can't find version 4.8 of xen utils, bailing out!

Yes, the hypervisor (and dom0 tools) are 4.8. But it should not matter
for domU, since it use only stable ABI.
The detection logic should be used only in dom0. On domU side I think it
should take version of xen-utils-common package (the one shipping
detection script) - so xen-utils-common_4.11* will use xen-utils_4.11.
