[Bug 1062336] [NEW] nova-compute expects libvirtd group

[John Garbutt]

Public bug reported:

Had issues installing the nova-compute-xcp package.
It seems nova-compute relies on libvirtd group, but that doesn't exist when libvirt is not installed.

What I see is:

Setting up nova-compute-xcp (2012.2-0ubuntu3~cloud0) ...
Setting up nova-compute (2012.2-0ubuntu3~cloud0) ...
adduser: The group `libvirtd' does not exist.
dpkg: error processing nova-compute (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Once group was present (I just installed libvirt-bin, while not really needed), it was OK:
Setting up nova-compute (2012.2-0ubuntu3~cloud0) ...
Adding user `nova' to group `libvirtd' ...
Adding user nova to group libvirtd
Done.
