Public bug reported: 2011.3-0ubuntu4 introduced a change to the postinst to fixup permissions for upgrades to ensure that files in /var/lib/nova with group ownership of root or nogroup switched to nova
Unfortunately this does not take into account new installs - the permissions on /var/lib/nova remain as root:root so the nova-manage db sync command fails as the end of the postinst maintainer script.
