  Indeed the version of nova-common available is:

  # apt-cache policy nova-common
  nova-common:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 3:29.2.0-0ubuntu1.7
    Version table:
       3:29.2.0-0ubuntu1.7 500
          500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-security/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       3:29.0.1-0ubuntu1 500
          500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/main amd64 Packages

  
  Both of these packages are part of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nova/3:29.2.0-0ubuntu1.8

  These packages have been undergoing update phasing and according to
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/amd64/nova-common that package  is
  at "50% of users". Since these packages are hard requirements on each
  other they should be aligned with phases to avoid becoming stuck like
  this.
