Comment 0 for bug 1952882

Related to lp:1927277. Can be reproduced by running the series-upgrade tests. [1] Here is what happens:

1. nova-compute (principal) and ceilometer-agent (subordinate) are running on the same bionic machine.
2. A series upgrade of that machine is started. This runs the pre-series-upgrade hooks of both charms, effectively stopping both the nova-compute and the ceilometer-agent-compute services.
3. `juju upgrade-series <machine-number> complete` is run. This runs ceilometer-agent's post-series-upgrade hook, attempting to start the ceilometer-agent-compute service. This service however has a dependency to the nova-compute service, which is still stopped. This produces a hook error.
