[openstack-dev] [Fuel][Plugins] apt segfaults when too many repositories are configured

Hello,

While testing LMA with MOS 7.0, we got apt-get crashing and failing the
deployment. The details are in the LP bug [0], the TL;DR version is that
when more repositories are added (hence more packages), there is a risk
that apt-get commands fail badly when trying to remap memory.

The core issue should be fixed in apt or glibc but in the mean time,
increasing the APT::Cache-Start value makes the issue go way. This is what
we're going to do with the LMA plugin but since it's independent of LMA,
maybe it needs to be addressed at the Fuel level?

BR,
Simon
