Corey,

I can confirm that your workaround is succeeded (tested with versions
17.0.3 and 17.0.4; 4.4.0-124-generic).

Regars, 
Annie

Title:
  dpkg eror processing package nova-compute

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid
Status in nova package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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

  ...

  Setting up qemu-kvm (1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu5~cloud0) ...

  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.

  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. 

  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
