These dependencies reflect part of the history of these packages and are fine as-is. It is also fine to not have qemu-kvm installed for the use by nova.
A brief overview of history: - initially and up to precise the package kvm existed and was used for virtualization (a wrapper around qemu to enable kvm) - later qemu-kvm was added which just provided a symlink "how it used to be" to the kvm-spice binary which was no more needed - anything modern actually activates kvm on their own and does not necesarily required the old binary paths. It only needs qemu-system-<arch> and that is what the dependencies reflect (qemu- system pulls in all the main architectures) In fact due to the wrappers and the compat symlinks for more than ten releases we now had kvm == kvm-spice == qemu-system-x86 Therefore IMHO this bug status is invalid, but I'll leave that final decision to the Openstack Team owning Nova. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819509 Title: qemu-kvm is not installed with nova-compute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nova/+bug/1819509/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
