I saw this today while trying to re-install (stack.sh) an existing 
devstack (unstack.sh and clean.sh). I did a fresh devstack after this 
and it worked without any problems. So maybe the behavior is intermittent?

The error in the g-api log [1] during service startup was:

Jun 16 19:25:26 node1 devstack at g-api.service[421305]: ERROR 
glance.common.wsgi sqlalchemy.exc.NoSuchModuleError: Can't load plugin: 
sqlalchemy.plugins:dbcounterplugin=dbcounterplugin=dbcounter

The format of the above plugin message is <group>:<name> [2] which would 
mean the group is 'sqlalchemy.plugins' and the name is 
'dbcounterplugin=dbcounterplugin=dbcounter'. I thought the latter looked 
strange. I thought the name would just be 'dbcounter'.

The dbcounter package was installed:

$ pip show dbcounter
Name: dbcounter
Version: 0.1
Summary: A teeny tiny dbcounter plugin for use with devstack
Home-page: http://github.com/openstack/devstack

When I tried something like this, it imported fine:

$ python3
Python 3.8.10 (default, Mar 15 2022, 12:22:08)
[GCC 9.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import dbcounter
 >>> dbcounter
<module 'dbcounter' from 
'/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/dbcounter.py'>
 >>>

Is it possible dbcounter was not installed at the time glance was 
starting up? I didn't think so given the timestamp on the package dir:

$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/|grep dbcounter
drwxr-sr-x  2 root staff    4096 Jun 16 19:14 dbcounter-0.1.dist-info
-rw-r--r--  1 root staff    4580 Jun 16 19:14 dbcounter.py

and the error above happened at Jun 16 19:25:26.

I couldn't figure out anything so finally I tried restarting the g-api 
service and it started without any error. Subsequent restart also had no 
error.
