Bug Description
This is on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 after doing a apt update / upgrade.
Running the devstack install instructions located here https:/
with the bare minimum local.conf results in the following error
Installing collected packages: oslo.rootwrap, simplejson, python-
Attempting uninstall: simplejson
Found existing installation: simplejson 3.13.2
ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'simplejson'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

It appears that others have run into the issue. The fix here works for me https:/ /www.edureka. co/community/ 65075/error- cannot- uninstall- simplejson- not-able- install- ubuntu
