Package: vzctl
Version: 3.0.10-1
Severity: important

With a fresh installation of vzctl, I get

# /etc/init.d/vz start
Starting OpenVZ: ..failed

and this prevents the package from installing completely, by the way.
There are two problems:

(1) The script fails because '/sbin/modprobe vzdquota' fails in the
'for MOD in $MODULES' loop beginning at line 378.  But that's only
because I don't have a vzdquota module for my kernel, so it shouldn't
be an error.  (I can't find any vzdquota-related kernel config option,
probably because I don't have user accounting enabled in general in my
kernel.  But even if I did have it it could be built into my kernel,
not as a module.)  It seems that the script should check that a module
exists before trying to load it.

(2) The script doesn't tell me why it failed.  It calls

print_failure "Loading module ${MOD}"

which should print that information to the console, but doesn't.

Thanks,
Andrew.
