Open Stack

Hi,

We're running a multi-node Openstack environment (Grizzly) on Ubuntu 12.04.  Recently, when adding a compute node to the cluster, the following error occurs when installing quantum-common:


Setting up quantum-common (2012.1-0ubuntu4) ...
Adding system user `quantum' (UID 110) ...
Adding new user `quantum' (UID 110) with group `quantum' ...
Not creating home directory `/var/lib/quantum'.

dpkg: error processing quantum-common (--configure):

                                                                                                          Errors were encountered while processing:
quantum-common
quantum-plugin-openvswitch-agent
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)



The quantum-plugin-openvswitch-agent also fails because of its dependency on quantum-common.

We've tried creating /etc/quantum manually and installing the package, however the directory remains empty.

This bug was reportedly fixed in version 2012.1-0ubuntu3 in April of 2012.

Our cluster was initially set up using the guide here:
https://github.com/mseknibilel/OpenStack-Grizzly-Install-Guide/blob/OVS_MultiNode/OpenStack_Grizzly_Install_Guide.rst

We've been following these instructions to add compute nodes in the past without issue.

Has anyone else been experiencing this, or have any insight into what's happening?

Thanks,
