Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Package xen-utils is a virtual package, which is provided by xen-utils-3.1 on Gutsy amd64. See the Provides line below:

$ apt-cache show xen-utils-3.1
Package: xen-utils-3.1
Priority: extra
Section: universe/misc
Installed-Size: 1172
Maintainer: Chuck Short <>
Architecture: amd64
Source: xen-3.1
Version: 3.1.0-0ubuntu18
Replaces: xen-utils-3.0
Provides: xen-utils

From the debian-policy (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html) chapter 7.4:

A virtual package is one which appears in the Provides control file field of another package. The effect is as if the package(s) which provide a particular virtual package name had been listed by name everywhere the virtual package name appears.

So the dependency on xen-utils is fulfilled by xen-utils-3.1

As this doesn't seem to be a "real" bug, I will close it. Please feel free to re-open if you do have real dependency problems with xenman.
