Bug Description

I am getting an error running stack.sh on ubuntu 12.04 with the Icehouse cloud archive whereby devstack is trying to install kvm where it should actually be installing qemu-kvm. This used to work since the kvm package was kept as a meta reference to qemu-kvm but has now been removed.

ubuntu@devstack:~$ dpkg -l| grep kvm
ii qemu-kvm 1.7.0+dfsg-3ubuntu6~cloud0 QEMU Full virtualization on x86 hardware (transitional package)
ubuntu@devstack:~$ sudo apt-get install kvm

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 kvm : Depends: qemu-kvm

This was initially raised as a bug on Ubuntu (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kvm/+bug/1294248) but looks like it should be fixed in devstack.

    Install qemu-kvm instead of kvm package on Ubuntu

    Since at least 12.04, the kvm package is a transitional dummy
    package intended to move users to the newer qemu-kvm package. This
    removes the dependency on this dummy package, which will be going away
    in 14.04, and instead depends on the proper qemu-kvm package.
