Please do dpkg -l "*xen*" and show this. The output includes the state
of the whole bunch of packages. I think you have the old xen-utils-3.0
package in a removed but not purged state.

This files seems to be a leftover from xen-utils-3.0, I don't know why
they are not removed.

You may test the following. Replace the following line in
/usr/lib/xen-3.0-unstable-1/bin/xend
| sys.path.append('%s/../lib/python' % sys.path[0])
with
| sys.path[0] = '%s/../lib/python' % sys.path[0]

This always checks the correct path first.

Yes, this is the correct one.
