Juju status reporting waiting apps incorrectly

[Charles Dunbar]

On juju 2.4.1-xenial-amd64, I'm able to see odd output when performing a `juju status $APPNAME` that seems to have incorrect and unrelated information:

For some reason, ceph-osd is waiting wth a scale of 0, when running a `juju status neutron-gateway`

Looking into `juju status ceph-osd` - there's more waiting apps, and then with multiple runs you get different Units reported.

What might cause juju to have:
1) Incorrect status of apps in the status
2) Extra apps that aren't subordinates listed
3) With the ceph-osd status, the Unit table is different on the second run as well, with the same Apps as the first and third.

Please also paste the output of 'juju status --relations'. It seems that the additional apps are present in the output as there are relations linking them to the apps you've requested.

If this is the case, it has been done by design. If it is not the case, it's a bug and we need to figure out why additional, seemingly unrelated, apps are being listed.

The other reason for listing seemingly unrelated apps is when they have units on the same machines as the units of the apps that you are interested in.

https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/tf6ZhWDBnW/ is the output of `juju status --relations`

@Charles Dunbar (ccdunbar),

Thank you for providing additional information.

The extra applications and their units that you've observed are listed because they either have a relation to the application you are filtering on OR they have units that reside on the same machines that the units of your application of interest.

However, I would have expected a consistent output on a stable system :) So, there is definitively an illusive bug somewhere. If you have an easier reproduction steps than me replicating your setup, it would be greatly appreciated \o/

@Charles Dunbar (ccdunbar),

There have been a few changes in status area including better filtering of relations and apps. Also the application filtering logic changed - previously we were pulling a lot based on the units & relations and machine sharing...

Could you please verify that 2.5-b3 works for you?
Alternatively, if you could help me to identify an easily reproducible, minimal scenario, I could verify the changes myself.

This is still a problem with 2.5.0
