Post install check assumes dpkg-vendor

[Graham Hemingway]

See https://answers.launchpad.net/nova/+question/156499 for more details.

The Ubuntu post install script for Nova currently assumes that the machine has dpkg-vendor installed with certain groups setup. This assumption should be removed and a check should be done for libvirtd and libvirt without using dpkg-vendor.

[Monty Taylor (mordred)]

Yes - this also makes dpkg-dev effectively a dep for nova, which is fail.

If one wants to get at this data, lsb_release is the standard, always there (except on non-linux-systems) way to find vendor. But really whatever.

[Soren Hansen (soren)]

I just moved the magic into debian/rules. Should do the trick. Packages on their way.

This bug was fixed in the package nova - 2011.3~bzr1108-0ubuntu1

---------------
nova (2011.3~bzr1108-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Thomas Goirand ]
  * Removes embedded jquery.js from nova-doc package.
  * Added some manpages stubs to make package lintian clean.
  * Adds a nova-volume.default where the admin can decide what VG to use.
  * debian/nova-objectstore.logrotate working in Debian.
  * Do not have debian/*.upstart files in Debian. Using debian/*.upstart.in
  and copying them as .upstart only if building in Ubuntu.
  * Nova init files reviewed so that they are working in Debian.
  * Initscripts of nova-compute now has a Should-Start: libvirt-bin
  * nova-compute.postinst working with libvirt group in Debian.
  * Reviewed the package descriptions.
  * Reviewed some dependencies in debian/control (added some adduser and
  lsb-base depends).
  * Added missing binary Depends: (nova-manage must depends on
  python-amqplib unless failing puiparts tests, nova-compute is pretty
  usless without qemu-utils)
  * Removes .gitignore files from binaries.
  * Don't package nova-manage.1 man page if we aren't building docs.
  * Packages correctly: nova-manage.1 and not novamanage.1 !!!

  [ Soren Hansen ]
  * Bump required version of libvirt-bin on Ubuntu to 0.8.8.
  * Drop the last of the AOE dependencies. iSCSI is the default
    nowadays.
  * Make the decision about the name of the libvirt group at build time
    rather than runtime. (LP: #781716)

  [ Vishvananda Ishaya ]
  * Add dd to the sudo cmd list.
  * Add a nova-vncproxy package.
