Public bug reported: After upgrading from queens->rocky with the openstack charms, /usr/share /openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard is missing files because it is not a symlink (alternative) to /usr/lib/python3/dist- packages/openstack_dashboard.
Note that the openstack charms are using py2 packages in queens and py3 packages in rocky. The upgrade process of the packages goes: (1) py2queens -> (2) py2rocky -> (3) py3rocky Bad state after upgrade: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3GnMTVfZDk/ Also worth noting that the queens packages did not use alternatives for /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard. In that version of the package the files are copied into /usr/share/openstack- dashboard/openstack_dashboard during the package build so there are no symlinks/alternatives involved. Looking closer during the upgrade, at step (2) we have: $ apt policy python-django-horizon python-django-horizon: Installed: 3:14.0.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0 Candidate: 3:14.0.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0 Version table: *** 3:14.0.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0 500 500 http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/rocky/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ update-alternatives --display openstack_dashboard openstack_dashboard - auto mode link best version is /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openstack_dashboard link currently points to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openstack_dashboard link openstack_dashboard is /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/openstack_dashboard - priority 300 And after step (3) we have: $ ls -al /usr/share/openstack-dashboard total 36 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 14 18:28 . drwxr-xr-x 127 root root 4096 Feb 14 17:29 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 14 18:28 bin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 881 Dec 5 16:45 manage.py drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 14 18:28 openstack_dashboard -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15713 Dec 5 16:45 settings.py $ ls -al /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/ total 24 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 14 18:28 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Feb 14 18:28 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 14 18:28 conf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Feb 14 18:28 enabled $ update-alternatives --display openstack_dashboard openstack_dashboard - auto mode link best version is /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openstack_dashboard link currently points to /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openstack_dashboard link openstack_dashboard is /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openstack_dashboard - priority 200 ** Affects: horizon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1815948 Title: Upgrade from rocky python2->python3 packages breaks openstack_dashboard alternative To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/horizon/+bug/1815948/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
