nova-ceph-multistore job fails permanently with: Cannot uninstall 'logutils'

[Balazs Gibizer]

The last 4 run[2] failed with the same issue[1]:

    remove python3-logutils

    this change ensure that python3-logutils is removed so that
    that it can be installed by pip later.

    Before today in passing build, there were no python3-logutils pulled by neutron deps so
    it was not installed or tried to uninstall so all good
    - https://zuul.openstack.org/build/590c5996ca1b402486bfe1c7e1d08535/log/job-output.txt

    But from today (10th Dec), python3-logutils pulled by neutron deps and failure started
    - https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/722c6caf8e454849b897a43bcf617dd2/log/job-output.txt#9419

    The root cause of why this issue started happening today is not known. May be its
    pecan===1.4.1 ? I8ee467bbb363f428a005f92554812bfdae95881a making it install but there
    is no change for logutils as deps in pecan previous version 1.3.3 also[1]). Or it may
    be cpeh/ubuntu packaging.

    But it is clear that python3-logutils is coming from somewhere and causing gate blocker
    in Nova gate, let's remove it and later we can find the root cause if anyone need this
    package for their ceph job.

Since the fix merged we had seen successful job runs. So I close this for Nova too.
