          According to his screenshot above, he is running as root.

          Missed that... hence my earlier post. 🐑 😁

            Is this XenOrchestra install? If so xenserver tools should be installed already.
            You can check in xencenter to see if it they are already installed. If you have no xc and just the cli for your vm,
            dpkg -l | grep xe

            should return some things,
            one of them being xe-guest-utilities and a version number

              @momurda Yes, it is for XO. Looking in XenCenter, it says the tools are not installed. Let me check again

                  well, if you dont care about this vm (it can be replaced easily since it is XO) --this could break stuff on the vm
                  try this:
                  cd /mnt/Linux
                  dpkg -i --force-overwrite xe-guest-utilities_7.0.0-24_all.deb
                  OR
                  dpkg -i --force-all xe-guest-utilties_7.0.0-24_all.deb
                  then do
                  apt-get install -f

                    For anyone who might stumble upon this issue (since is one of ~ 5 results when googling it)
                    Had the same Error in Ubuntu 17.04 and

                     sudo apt-get remove xenstore-utils
                    

                    solved my problem

                      @Andy-P so the package was already installed, right?
