Bug#482974: [Debian] Re: Bug#482974: vzctl: vzctl start fails with "Unable to set capability: Invalid argument"

[Ola Lundqvist]

Hi

Ok, I see. This is a problem on all other platforms than i386. The reason
is that they are automatically built. If the kernel information is wrong
on the build machine it will get this problem.

When is the next release?

Best regards,
