Bug Description

During package selection, choose OpenSSH server and OpenStack. The installation process will fail and take the user back to package selection. Note, this is not for manual selection, but when defining broad roles for the system.

It seems OpenStack attempts to install kvm and lcx for virtualization, but only one hypervisor can be installed: they are mutually exclusive.

If I had to vote for a default, I would choose LXC, though it may be more correct to allow the user to choose interactively.

The specific package was unavailable for selection. It is the "OpenStack" installer option. Examining the problem in more detail reveals that the lxc and kvm compute packages conflict, which fail the install.

This may be an upstream problem, since kvm and lxc could conceivably coexist with the kernel distributed by canonical, or it could be intentional because not all kernels can support kvm and lxc side-by-side.

Either way, the installation fails and should either be corrected or removed from the installer prior to the April 26th deadline.
