ceilometer-common dependency is broken, python-happybase cannot be installed

[Bruce Basil Mathews]

Steps to recreate:

Install Fuel with 8 VMs
Create ENV with 3 Controller/Telemetry Nodes, 5 Compute/Ceph Storage nodes.
Verify Network okay.
Select Deploy.
Deploy Fails with the following in the Astute Logs:

Root cause lays in packages dependency for ceilometer:

Hi,
I am still facing this issue in Fuel 7.0 , anyway around for this.

Thanks

[Alex Schultz (alex-schultz)]

Does not affect 8.0 as we are providing a python-happybase as part of the 8.0 package set. Seems to affect 6.1 and 7.0. http://paste.openstack.org/show/478827/

ceilometer-common is requiring python-happybase (>= 0.7.1) but 0.7 is being picked up even though there is an 0.8 available.

[Denis Meltsaykin (dmeltsaykin)]

Setting as Invalid for 6.0 and 7.1 as they contain correct dependencies on python-happybase and this package of the version 0.8 is accessible from an upstream repository.
