This still seems a Good Idea(tm) to start the process of moving to /usr/libexec, but I do update patches if I discover issues.
Note, for the shorter term it makes sense to leave things in /usr/lib. Until a few revisions pass with both /usr/lib and /usr/libexec copies, xen-utils-common must keep using /usr/lib. Issue is once xen-utils-common uses /usr/libexec, older installations break. Best to keep compatibility with old builds for a while. -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | ehem+sig...@m5p.com PGP 87145445 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 8A19\___\_|_/58D2 7E3D DDF4 7BA6 <-PGP-> 41D1 B375 37D0 8714\_|_/___/5445

Ensure current versions of the package will be compatible with future xen-utils-common packages which expect the files in /usr/libexec.
