Hi Thomas,

Thank you for the feedback.

I might have misspoken, but my claim of it being "impossible to install" is because after the installer proceeds to install openvswitch it falls into an infinite loop that will not break.

May 03 19:55:27|00423|stream_unix|ERR|/tmp/stream-unix.7291.211: connection to /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock failed: No such file or directory
May 03 19:55:27|00424|reconnect|WARN|unix:/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock: connection attempt failed (No such file or directory)
...(Repeats forever, every 8 seconds. Ctrl+C won't break it.)

It appears that is an issue with openvswitch in Ubuntu and not XCP, but I also cannot successfully install XCP over the unsuccessful dependency. If openvswitch installs fine in Debian, then I agree it's only an annoyance. I did not mean to imply the upstream package was broken, on the contrary it looks like it got fixed very quickly.

I am going to try installing the original Precise xcp-xapi package now and "apt-get upgrade" from there. I'll report back.
