I believe we've decided that the newton package is behaving as expected in newton. The alternative dependencies will be read left to right and if there's a match it will be used (in this case qemu-system); if there's no match the first alternative (qemu-kvm) will be installed.
I think you can get away with installing qemu-kvm and then nova-compute- kvm will use that as the dependency. Note that qemu-kvm depends on qemu- system-x86 (among other architectures but looks like this case is x86) so I don't think any package purges are required. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1819509 Title: qemu-kvm is not installed with nova-compute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nova/+bug/1819509/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
