Hi!

Xen Orchestra team here. Our virtual appliance (XOA) is running on Jessie
and few customers experienced this problem on XenServer too. I'm trying to
investigate more to correlate if the affected customers did a migration
before this happened (XOA is running on prem, so we can't monitor it
directly).

Keep us posted for any bug report created on Debian side.

Thanks!

Olivier.
