I made the change to the test as you suggested and the test still passes.

I have just found out that "ValueError: Input strings must be a multiple of
16 in length" and "TypeError: Incorrect padding" are caused by calling
crypt.urlsafe_decrypt(...) on a data that was not previously encrypted. For
example when the metadata_encryption_key is set, and there is existing data
which had not been encrypted, "glance image-list" would invoke the decrypt
function on the data which was not previously encrypted leading to errors.

A solution to this may be to encrypt existing data when
metadata_encryption_key is set and decrypt the data if it is reset. I would
like get some more ideas/opinions in this issue.

Thanks
Konrad
