Public bug reported: Had issues installing the nova-compute-xcp package. It seems nova-compute relies on libvirtd group, but that doesn't exist when libvirt is not installed.
What I see is: Setting up nova-compute-xcp (2012.2-0ubuntu3~cloud0) ... Setting up nova-compute (2012.2-0ubuntu3~cloud0) ... adduser: The group `libvirtd' does not exist. dpkg: error processing nova-compute (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Once group was present (I just installed libvirt-bin, while not really needed), it was OK: Setting up nova-compute (2012.2-0ubuntu3~cloud0) ... Adding user `nova' to group `libvirtd' ... Adding user nova to group libvirtd Done. ** Affects: nova (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nova in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1062336 Title: nova-compute expects libvirtd group To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nova/+bug/1062336/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
