Openstack task in ubuntu-server package selection fails

[Jeff Lane ]

While doing a test install of Precise Server 64bit Alpha 2 I discovered that the Openstack task doesn't do anything, actually it triggers a fail screen.

Steps to recreate:

Start d-i from precise-server-amd64 iso
at package selection, select Openstack and then continue
you should get an error screen saying that the "Select and install software" step failed.

the syslog shows the following:

Neither nova-compute-kvm nor nova-compute-lxc conflict with nova-compute-hypervisor now. Oh this is a duplicate of bug 923681.
