nova package install error

Asked by Shiny Sebastian

Hi,

I am trying to install nova from packages through nova PPA as per https://launchpad.net/~nova-core/+archive/trunk/. I am unable to install nova from the recent packages. Looks like its internally installing python-nova and is developing some file conflicts. Below is what I see:

root@node15:~/openstack# dpkg -l | grep nova
root@node15:~/openstack# apt-get install nova-common
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  powernap avahi-utils libnss-mdns libavahi-core6 ethtool libyaml-0-2 linux-headers-2.6.32-25 libtirpc1
  linux-headers-2.6.32-25-server libdaemon0 avahi-daemon python-yaml
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
  python-nova

Could you tell me what could be wrong here. I tried installing two days ago, and it was working fine then with bzr revision number 440. Is there any specific way to download nova packages for a particular bzr revision number?

Thanks
Shiny

This should be resolved in the most recent version in the trunk PPA.
