Someone want to submit a patch to at least ignore this file if not  
present and/or readable?

Thanks Michael,

as quick workaround I’ve comment few lines in setup module and it’s ok for me now.  
Anyhow this xen detection part in setup module was modified in commit: 29882f97e6d3384dd943619c732d40eb7d0dd539

[https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/29882f97e6d3384dd943619c732d40eb7d0dd539#library/setup](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/29882f97e6d3384dd943619c732d40eb7d0dd539#library/setup)

As I’m not python programmer it will be fine if this part will be more fault tolerant and don’t fall if file is not readable.

I will open issue for this.

Regards,  
Dusan

Yeah, this is already fixed upstream, you should do a 'git pull  
--rebase' or check it out again.

Great!

Thanks Michael, it works fine for me now.  
Big thanks also to “Daniel Hokka Zakrisson” who implement this fix superfast ;-).
