As someone who helps maintain the Ubuntu packages, I'm curious to
know when/what/where the problems you've hit installing packages.
Do/did bug #s exist? Can you please file bugs when you hit them?
We've been making an extra effort to ensure that the Openstack
packages on archive.ubuntu.com are *at least* installable without
error at any given time. Packaging bugs have slipped through into
our weekly uploads, but we've been either catching them early or
responding to any new relevant bug reports, and doing point uploads
with fixes ASAP so things are installable until the next weekly
upload. <br>
<br>
I ask anyone that is running into packaging problems: Please file
bugs against the Ubuntu packages if you find they are failing to
install. They *will* get fixed!<br>
