Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.

This will be changing gutsy soonish

shouldn't the bug report stay open until it is fixed?

the package is still not installable for me

[Adam Wendt (adam-ipwebdev)]

Along with my patch for the xen-python-3.1 bug, this can be fixed with a trivial patch of the xen-meta source package

xen-hypervisor-amd64 no longer exists, since as of Xen 3.1 64 bit support is built in.
fix the above:

-xen-hypervisor-amd64
+xen-hypervisor

The upload for this is not uploaded yet, but the easy work around is:

sudo apt-get install bridge-utils libxen3.1 python-xen-3.1 xen-docs-3.1 xen-hypervisor xen-ioemu-3.1 xen-tools xen-utils-3.1 xenman xen-image-2.6.19-4-generic-amd64

[Todd Deshane (deshantm)]

OK the new problem is that linux-xen doesn't exist.

The work around for this is:
sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22-11-xen
sudo apt-get install bridge-utils libxen3.1 python-xen-3.1 xen-docs-3.1 xen-hypervisor-3.1 xen-ioemu-3.1 xen-tools xen-utils-3.1 xenman

Which means the fix is that linux-xen meta package is missing at this point and that is the bug that should be filed if it isn't already.

[Todd Deshane (deshantm)]

This problem is now fixed by way. It is now installable on amd64 since the linux-xen meta package was added recently. I think the status should be changed to fixed.

ubuntu-xen-server still doesn't exist on amd64 though, and the linux-image-xen package, though it exists now, doesnt create a kernel which is bootable or detected by update-grub. I am testing on gusty server beta amd64.
