Xen Orchestra Web UI (from source commit d4637) with XCP-NG 8.2.1 (all the patches installed at Julu 26th 2024) is reporting that the agent is 6.6.80-0, but in the CLI of the VM the version is 7.20.2

I do not know the detail of how Xen Orchestra get the guest agent version, but generally, it should be 7.20.2

I don't know if it was fixed, but for long when building these tools the version would default to 6.6.something unless you specify the version you want at build time (basically, you decide(d?) whatever version you want to be displayed at build time).

So I believe the Ubuntu packagers got bitten by this peculiarity at the time they built these.

Just ignore the fact that the displayed version is lower than the one you expected: they're the latest offered by Ubuntu. Now you can also install the ones from XenServer directly, or from XCP-ng, depending on your product.
