The complete %description should read: %description This package contains the Xen tools and management daemons needed to run virtual machines on x86, x86_64, and ia64 systems. Information on how to use Xen can be found at the Xen project pages. The Xen system also requires the Xen hypervisor and domain-0 kernel, which can be found in the kernel-xen* package. Virtualization can be used to run multiple operating systems on one physical system, for purposes of hardware consolidation, hardware abstraction, or to test untrusted applications in a sandboxed environment. Built new RPM with fix * Thu Aug 16 2007 Daniel P. Berrange <berrange> - 3.0.3-36.el5 - Update package description to better reflect reality (rhbz #249719) An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report.
