ceilometer-upgrade failure with local sqlite db

[James Page]

The ceilometer package by default uses a local sqlite db (just to get packages installed - not for production use!), the ceilometer-upgrade command will try to upgrade this on install:

dpkg: error processing package ceilometer-common (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

by default, the script will try to upgrade the gnocchi resource types, which in a default install don't actually need to be.

This bug was fixed in the package ceilometer - 1:7.0.0-0ubuntu2

---------------
ceilometer (1:7.0.0-0ubuntu2) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * d/ceilometer-common.postinst: Call ceilometer-upgrade with
    --skip-gnocchi-resource-types as this is only called in the event
    that a local sqlite db is in use, which it won't be if gnocchi is
    being used, resolving issues with installation and upgrade
