Host OS: Gentoo x86_64

I was using vzctl from git for a long while but recently started having
this error whenever creating a VE:

/usr/share/vzpkg/functions: line 233: /etc/sysconfig/vz: No such file or directory
Warning: Variable TEMPLATE not found in /etc/sysconfig/vz; using default (/vz/template).
Unable to get full ostemplate name for ubuntu-8.04-i386-minimal
Creating VE private area (ubuntu-8.04-i386-minimal)

I checked and sure enough, there's no /etc/sysconfig/vz directory.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, uninstalling and installing from
portage... nothing seems to fix it.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Cliff

This does not exist on gentoo. I have not tried ubuntu templates but
gentoo VEs work just fine. I am using openvz-2.6.24

Found it.  On Gentoo this file is in /etc/conf.d/vz... I guess this is a
Gentoo packaging bug.

/etc/sysconfig/vz was moved to /etc/vz/vz.conf long time ago, while symlink 
was provided by vzctl package for backward compatibility. Looks like now it 
is broken. Workaround - change line 233 in /usr/share/vzpkg/functions to 
point to /etc/vz/vz.conf

Thanks,
Dmitry.

Fixed getting configs by old paths. Thanks to Cliff Wells for noticing this.
