[Bug 1761140] Re: dpkg eror processing package nova-compute

(Note: There was a paste failure with my last comment so I've hidden
that.)

Hi Annie,

I can't confirm that your package is coming from a Canonical or Ubuntu
supported archive.

Your log has the following:

nova-compute:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2:17.0.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0
  Version table:
     2:17.0.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0 500
        500 http://172.31.200.12/cloud_archive/x86_64 xenial-proposed/queens/main amd64 Packages
     2:13.1.4-0ubuntu4.2 500
        500 http://172.31.200.12/ubuntu/x86_64 xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages
     2:13.0.0-0ubuntu2 500
        500 http://172.31.200.12/ubuntu/x86_64 xenial/main amd64 Packages

Whereas when I add the queens-proposed cloud archive to xenial I see:

nova-compute:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2:17.0.4-0ubuntu1~cloud0
  Version table:
     2:17.0.4-0ubuntu1~cloud0 500
        500 http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial-proposed/queens/main amd64 Packages
     2:13.1.4-0ubuntu4.2 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages
     2:13.0.0-0ubuntu2 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages

If you still see problems using the standard Ubuntu archive for xenial
with the Queens cloud archive [1] on top of it, please move this bug
back to New status.

[1] sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:queens-proposed && sudo apt
update

Thanks,
Corey

Title:
  dpkg eror processing package nova-compute

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):

  Invalid

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

  Errors were encountered while processing:

   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. 

  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
