I ran a dist-upgrade today and received the error "Errors were encountered while processing: libvirt0 libvirt-bin python-libvirt" I ran "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in order to attempt to correct this problem to find all three packages seemed to depend on libxen3.2, so I ran "sudo apt-get install libxen3.2" to which I received this error
