Running as root should yield the most reliable results.

Yes, I noticed. Just saying that sudo would not be expected to change that.

Probably at MangoCon, ha ha.

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

[FATeknollogee]

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

Yup, it's a MangoCon Sparkle Party here!

[momurda]

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

[xisco]

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

[Andy P]

@xisco yes, xenstore-utils was installed - i suppose it was installed by ubuntu setup
