rally is not available

[Radosław Piliszek]

Trying to install rally (bionic, train):

rally : Depends: python-rally (= 0.9.1-0ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed

downstream kolla bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kolla/+bug/1848295

Thanks for reporting.

I'm able to install rally on my 18.04 system, so I'm unable to reproduce this issue. Could you please attach the output of `apt policy rally` and `apt policy python-rally`? They seem to be built from the same source package, so sounds odd that they should be out of sync.

Hi Hans,

()[root@7bd43ba9e153 /]# apt policy rally
rally:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.9.1-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
     0.9.1-0ubuntu2 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages

()[root@7bd43ba9e153 /]# apt policy python-rally
python-rally:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.9.1-0ubuntu2
  Version table:

I debugged it with aptitude (I have no idea whether this is possible with pure apt, please let me know and I will be grateful) - and it looks like the culprit is python-ironicclient:

python3-ironicclient breaks python-ironicclient
--\ The following actions will resolve this dependency:
  -> Downgrade python3-ironicclient [3.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0 (bionic-updates, now) -> 2.2.0-0ubuntu1 (bionic)]
  -> Remove python3-ironicclient [3.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0 (bionic-updates, now)]
  -> Cancel the installation of python-ironicclient

So rally is indeed not provided by UCA which has migrated to python3 for Train.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

IO have just started a new bionic machine, added the Train cloud archive, and installed Rally successfully.
