[Bug 1498344] Re: package nova-common 1:2014.1.5-0ubuntu1.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[György Szombathelyi]

The problem here is when nova-compute updated, and no connection= string in nova.conf, the postinst script will start nova-manage db sync with the nova user. But without the connection string, the default path points to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, so nova user cannot write the sqlite db there.
I think db sync should not run when a connection string is not present in nova.conf.
