[Bug 1761140] Please test proposed package

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Annie, or anyone else affected,

Accepted nova into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nova/2:13.1.4-0ubuntu4.3 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Hello!
  I've encountered the bug while installing Nova on compute nodes:

  ...
  Setting up qemu-system-x86 (1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu5~cloud0) ...
  Setting up qemu-kvm (1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu5~cloud0) ...
  Setting up qemu-utils (1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu5~cloud0) ...
  Setting up python-keystone (2:13.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0) ...
  Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.122ubuntu8.11) ...
  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-116-generic
  Setting up nova-compute-libvirt (2:17.0.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0) ...
  adduser: The user `nova' does not exist.
  dpkg: error processing package nova-compute-libvirt (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
  dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of nova-compute-kvm:
   nova-compute-kvm depends on nova-compute-libvirt (= 2:17.0.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0); however:
    Package nova-compute-libvirt is not configured yet.

  dpkg: error processing package nova-compute-kvm (--configure):
   dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
  Setting up python-os-brick (2.3.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0) ...
  No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
  Setting up python-nova (2:17.0.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0) ...
  Setting up nova-common (2:17.0.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0) ...
  Setting up nova-compute (2:17.0.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0) ...
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.23-0ubuntu10) ...

  Processing triggers for ureadahead (0.100.0-19) ...
  Processing triggers for dbus (1.10.6-1ubuntu3.3) ...
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   nova-compute-libvirt
   nova-compute-kvm
  ...

  Installation failed when executing 'post-installation script'.
  After some investigation I've found out that if I've create 'nova' user BEFORE running package installation, it's will be succeded.

  [Test Case]

  Steps to reproduce
  ------------------
  1. Prepare the node for installing nova-compute packages
  2. Run 'apt-get install nova-compute'

  Expected result
  ------------------
  Nova-compute installed successfully without errors

  Actual result
  ------------------
  Installation failed with dpkg error

  Workaround
  ------------------
  1. Create system user: add to /etc/passwd
     nova:x:64060:64060::/var/lib/nova:/bin/false
  2. Create system group: add to /etc/group
     nova:x:64060:
  3. Run 'apt-get install nova-compute'

  My Environment
  ------------------
  Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS, 4.4.0-116-generic
  Openstack Queens Release
  Nova 17.0.1-0ubuntu1

  [Regression Potential]
  Should be very low. This is a very minor dependency chain to prevent a dependency circular loop.
