Comment 1 for bug 839796

Hmm, this looks like a packaging issue. It looks like by default the nova.conf is importing a new flagfile for nova-compute. If nova-compute isn't installed that file won't exist. The error won't actually stop anything from working, but it is annoying to see it pop up

Not sure about the best solution here, should nova-common install an empty nova-compute.conf that can be overwritten by the nova-compute package selected? Should nova-compute append --flagfile=nova.compute.conf to nova.conf when it is installed? Should we find a way to supress the error message in nova?
