Hi,

I've been working with Mike from Citrix on these packages. What exactly
did you install? Just what was available in Ubuntu? These packages would
need to be upgraded to what I've uploaded recently in Debian SID. There
are some notes available here:

http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XCP_toolstack_on_a_Debian-based_distribution

When you say "Doesn't work", it isn't helpful to know what's wrong. Can
you describe a bit more what doesn't work?

Also, I would advise to try what's in Debian SID, which is more
up-to-date. BTW, if some Ubuntu folks are reading, I would strongly
advise to allow xen-api 1.3.2-4 to be taken from SID, and replace the
(buggy, with sometimes wrong dependencies) 1.3-15 version.

Cheers,

Thomas
