[Bug 496932] [NEW] Keepalived haven't LVS support

[Geordi LaForge]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: keepalived

The actual version (1.1.17) of keepalived in Ubuntu 9.10-amd64 have a big problem,
silently the package was build without the LVS support so if you put some
configuration dedicated to balance some servers, the keepalived daemon simply
ignore it without any warning.

This is a big problem because no warning and no information about this 
change wasn't present...
This is my configuration:

cat /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf
global_defs {                               
   notification_email {                     
     keepalived-oper                    
   }                                        
   notification_email_from keepalived-oper   
   smtp_server 127.0.0.1                      
   smtp_connect_timeout 30                    
   router_id FWLVS1                           
}                                             

vrrp_instance VI_OUT {
    interface ethOUT  
    state MASTER      
    virtual_router_id 9
    priority 250       
    authentication {   
        auth_type AH   
        auth_pass keep
    }                        
    virtual_ipaddress {      
        172.22.100.9/24      
        172.22.100.12/24     
        172.22.100.13/24     
    }                        
    preempt_delay 300        
}                            
                       


virtual_server 172.22.100.12 80 {
    delay_loop 10                
    lb_algo wlc                  
    lb_kind NAT                  
    persistence_timeout 120      
    persistence_granularity 255.255.0.0
    protocol TCP                       
    quorum 1                           

  real_server 192.168.69.20 80 {
    weight 1
    TCP_CHECK {
      connect_port 80
      connect_timeout 3
    }
  }

  real_server 192.168.69.21 80 {
    weight 1
    TCP_CHECK {
      connect_port 80
      connect_timeout 3
    }
  }
}

if i run the daemon with the --dump config this is the output:

As You can see the LVSpart was completly ignored, no warning, no
message, nothing!
