Description of problem: It seems the latest rawhide rpm fails to create the user for nova, this might be the reason my nova won't start. Package fuse doesn't create group fuse any longer as maybe expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-nova-2011.3-13.fc17.noarch fuse-2.8.6-1.fc17.x86_64 fedora 16 with openstack from rawhide How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install --enablerepo rawhide openstack-nova 2. grep nova /etc/passwd 3. Actual results: no user nova gets created Expected results: user nova should be created Additional info: yum output: -------------------------------- [root@blade5 ~]# rpm -q openstack-nova openstack-nova-2011.3-13.fc17.noarch [root@blade5 ~]# yum reinstall --enablerepo rawhide openstack-nova Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Reinstall Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package openstack-nova.noarch 0:2011.3-13.fc17 will be reinstalled ..... openstack-nova-2011.3-13.fc17.noarch.rpm | 59 kB 00:00 Running Transaction Check Running Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : openstack-nova-2011.3-13.fc17.noarch 1/1 useradd: group 'fuse' does not exist warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root warning: user nova does not exist - using root Installed: openstack-nova.noarch 0:2011.3-13.fc17 Complete!

after I manually added group fuse, it reinstalled without errors and finally nova services started: for svc in api objectstore compute network volume scheduler; do sudo service openstack-nova-$svc start; done
