[Bug 1005479] [NEW] Upgrades to 2012.2~f1-0ubuntu1 fail due to syntax error in nova-common.postinst and error in config migrator

[Iain Lane]

Public bug reported:

I previously had 2012.1-0ubuntu2.1.

Setting up nova-common (2012.2~f1-0ubuntu1) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/nova/policy.json ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/nova/api-paste.ini ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/nova/nova.conf ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/nova-common.postinst: 33: /var/lib/dpkg/info/nova-common.postinst: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then")
dpkg: error processing nova-common (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

This is because there is a typo at nova-common.postinst:26. When this is
fixed (using the attached diff), it fails to convert my config file,
also attached.
