            Installed a few weeks ago, using the Debian 12 template

            Building dependency tree... Done
            Reading state information... Done
            You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
            The following packages have unmet dependencies:
             xen-guest-agent : Depends: libxenstore4 but it is not installed or
                                        libxenstore3.0 but it is not installable
            E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

              AndreS have you followed the entire procedure? You must also run apt install -f

                No, I am used to stopping when I hit an error 🙂

                All three show the new version of the management aganet after

                apt install -f

                      olivierlambert when changes are made (like IP change in the VM), it is now instantly reported by XO 🙂
                      I will be able to go back to my work to integrate a BGP deamon to announce locals IPs to the network (I started last year to work on the xe-deamon but never had the time to finish it, and some months after I saw you blog post about moving to rust for it).

                      Thank you!

                        Install on Debian 12 VM went smooth. Tested on XCP-ng 8.2.1 & using Xen Orchestra, commit 5fe53. When changing networks it updates the IP very fast, but does not clear the previous IP addresses from the other networks. I did confirm they are not showing in the VM. 3a926d58-4f0b-425b-82ac-3b082fa0031f-image.png

                            Hi lawrencesystems, thanks for the feedback!

                            How are those IPs added and removed? In my tests I see old IPs always removed, whether I replace an address using ifconfig or whether I use ip addr del

                              I was simply changing the VLAN via the XO interface o the VM while it was running.

                                lawrencesystems do you mean you're changing the network the VIF is connected to? With old and new network both using DHCP maybe?

                                  Correct, changed VIF and each network has DHCP and the VM is set via DHCP.

                                    lawrencesystems thanks for those details, I could identify 2 specific issues from this, will fix that for 0.3.0:

                                      olivierlambert I'm running it... It would be nice if you offered a debian compatible repository that I could just add to the apt sources so updates would happen along with other debian updates (like HP tools, node, yarn, etc).

                                          Issue is still persistent and can be reproduced.

                                          After a reboot the old IPs are not showing up again until you change the network again.

                                            olivierlambert Install on different Debian and Ubuntu versions works as decribed by others, so nothing exciting to add (which is good I assume 🤔 ). XCP-ng 8.2.1 fully patched incl. the new security update candidates. XO from third party script with commit a3ea7.
