Hi Mike,

Thanks for reporting this and making Ubuntu better. I think you are
hitting https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1761140. Please can you run
'apt update' prior to installing? Please feel free to move this bug back
to New if you are still hitting this with a new version of the package.
Note: bionic-updates currently has nova 2:17.0.5-0ubuntu2

Thanks,
Corey

Title:
  nova-compute does not install cleanly on bionic

Status in nova package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Description:    Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  Release:        18.04

  ii  nova-compute                       2:17.0.1-0ubuntu1      all
  OpenStack Compute - compute node base

  
  On a fresh install of bionic (18.04LTS), running `apt install nova-compute` and accepting default dependency resolution results in required package nova-compute-libvirt failing to configure correctly:

  Setting up nova-compute-libvirt (2:17.0.1-0ubuntu1) ...
  adduser: The user `nova' does not exist.

  Repeating the `apt install nova-compute` command allows the
  configuration to proceed.
