The varnish charm fails automated testing

[Matt Bruzek]

In an effort to improve quality, we are testing all charms in an automated process.

According to the latest test results by charm http://reports.vapour.ws/charm-tests-by-charm this charm is failing automated testing.

The latest test result for varnish can be found here:
http://reports.vapour.ws/charm-tests/charm-bundle-test-1447-results

It looks like in the LXC environment there was a hook failure:

2014-10-31 15:30:46 Deploying service varnish using local:trusty/varnish
2014-10-31 15:31:40 The following units had errors:
   unit: varnish/0: machine: 2 agent-state: error details: hook failed: "install"

Please investigate and fix the charm or the test so the varnish charm passes automated testing.

As there have been no updates this bug report, or merge proposals to bring this charm back into a working state this charm will be moved into the un-maintained namespace of the Charm Store.

The charm is only failing on Joyent and LXC cloud environments. The Joyent error looks to be cloud environment specific. I have emailed the maintainer of the charm Nathan Williams for his help on this charm.

If the maintainer would please leave a comment that he is looking into the problem we could avoid moving this charm to the unmaintained branch.
