[Pkg-uml-pkgs] Bug#372259: user-mode-linux: the uml_switch control file is not been searched as in uml-utilities package

[alex bodnaru]

Package: user-mode-linux
Version: 2.6.16-1um-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


hello,

this is a change in required parameters that left me with no networking 
in uml.
i'm using uml with eth0=daemon option. if no uml_switch control file is 
specified, linux has previously (probably) searched it as configured in 
the uml-utilities package, while now it searches it in the loacation 
default for uml_switch upstream itself.
while it's grave (the uml networking is quite vital), there is a simple 
workaround: specify the exact control file location with the daemon arg.
