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.

to adress this i have proposed a patch based on how we workaround unremovable python packages in devstack fixup_tools script too the devstack-plugin-ceph repo to adress this. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/devstack-plugin-ceph/+/821396/

untill that merges expect to see all ceph based jobs to fail when installing neutron.

The fix merged during the weekend and the ceph base jobs seems to be happy. Cheers, gibi
