Exception in 'System information' results in error code 500

[Vlad Okhrimenko]

When deploying (via Mirantis Fuel) Ubuntu cluster in 'simple' mode with nova-network (flat-dhcp): 1 controller , 1 compute. Login to Horizon and try to open "Admin"->"System information" page. We get error code 500

To reproduce this behavior in devstack:
1. Generate error in try-block
(https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/2014.2.b3/openstack_dashboard/dashboards/admin/info/views.py#L36). For example, add the line:
   raise Exception('some error')
2. Go to Admin > System Information page

This sounds like a problem with your deployment rather than a problem with Horizon. Can you supply the steps to reproduce this problem with devstack?

[Vlad Okhrimenko (vokhrimenko)]

To get started, please see https://review.openstack.org/132039. It's not problem with deployment. If you want reproduce this problem:
1.
Please generate error in try-block
(https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/2014.2.b3/openstack_dashboard/dashboards/admin/info/views.py#L36)
2.
go to 'system info' page

From the review:
-----
Richard, the exception Vlad is dealing with originates from pbr package, it isn't related to any of python-clients, for which RECOVERABLE thing IMO was created with - I mean it's not OpenStack API issue, it's some underlying distro issue, not clear where to insert exception reraise.

So, if this is a pbr issue, either fix your package or remove pbr. We do that as well.
The pbr bug would be: https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/1304253

Marking this bug as an invalid, because it is caused by problems in deb-package (missing egg-info) and is not related to the upstream code.
