Public bug reported: I've installed nova-compute-xen on a compute node, and nova-common tries to make a nova-manage db sync when the package is configured. This results on a "/var/lib/nova/nova.sqlite" file.
$ sudo aptitude install python-software-properties $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nova-core/milestone $ sudo aptitude update $ sudo aptitude install nova-compute-xen (...)
