hi o/ gibi noticed that the nova-ceph-multistore job started failing this morning with ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'logutils'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall. https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1954427 we quickly identifed that python3-logutils was beeing pulled in by the devstack-plugin-ceph as a sideeffect fo installing ceph. functions-common:apt_get:1207 : sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive http_proxy= https_proxy= no_proxy= apt-get --option Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold --assume-yes install ceph libnss3- tools python3-rados python3-rbd Reading package lists...
