Bug Description

Binary package hint: xen-tools

When feisty changed /etc/sh away from being equivalent to /bin/bash, the hooks in /usr/lib/xen-tools/edgy.d (and maybe others) broke. Specifically, 30-disable-gettys started performing exactly the opposite as expected on this line:

rm ${prefix}/etc/event.d/tty[^1]

... rather than removing tty2 -> tty6, it now removes tty1 and leaves the others behind. The end result is no functional console in the domU.

Changing the shell of the script to /bin/bash is one obvious fix. Another would be to be more explicit (e.g. rm ${prefix}/etc/event.d/tty[23456])

I don't think it is a dupe... 120514 relates to there not being a set of scripts to build feisty with xen-tools. The bug that I am reporting concerns the scripts working incorrectly based on /bin/sh not being BASH anymore.

However, if you are saying that the solution to this bug is covered by 120514, because they are both resolved by a new upstream version, I am good with that :)
