Bug Description
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-
Setting up nova-compute (2012.2-
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-
Adding user `nova' to group `libvirtd' ...
Adding user nova to group libvirtd
Done.

Thanks for reporting this bug. Indeed, while some nova-compute-xyz postinst. in assumes postinst. in should be
packages Depend on libvirt-bin, it doesn't seem nova-compute-xcp or
nova-compute itself does, yet the nova-compute.
that group libvirtd exists. So nova-compute.
updated to accept that libvirtd group may not exist.
