During installation have the following errors:

apt-get install nova-api nova-cert nova-common nova-conductor nova-scheduler python-nova python-novaclient nova-consoleauth novnc nova-novncproxy

Text of the error is big, so repeating errors I omitted. I tried dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/nova-... and the names of the above packages, but it also gives an error:

dpkg -i --force-overwrite nova-api_1%3a2013.1.2-0ubuntu1~cloud0_all.deb

I've found that apt-get update seems to fix these kinds of things... Then rerun. Can not explain why it would make a difference.
