According to fuel log, this was made from the following commit:
commit fe3ba0ba68895f9706c3a61f671f3649177d753c
Author: Dennis Dmitriev <email address hidden>
Date: Thu Dec 25 02:20:33 2014 +0200

    Testing of OSCI packages on a stable environment

    1. Enables the 'custom_repo' decorator which add new rpm/deb
    packages to FUEL master node from custom repository before
    OS cluster is created. Can be used with any system test.

    2. In case of deployment error, checks the puppet logs
    in /var/log/docker-logs/remote/node-*/ for unmet dependences
    of packages which are failed to install during deployment.

    Use the following environment variables:
    * required:
      CUSTOM_PKGS_MIRROR=<URL to repository>

I suggest contacting the author of the commit, or check logs from the environment. MOS Linux has nothing to do here.

[Dennis Dmitriev (ddmitriev)]

'CUSTOM_PKGS_MIRROR' was not used for this deployment.

Ubuntu repository is used as it was built during the ISO was preparing.

According to the /var/log/docker-logs/remote/node-*.test.domain.local/debootstrap.log (on all nodes the same), there is a dependency problem of the package 'base-files_6.5ubuntu6.7_amd64.deb':

[Dennis Dmitriev (ddmitriev)]

It was not a dependency issue.
After re-trying the provisioning from the VNC console, all slaves were provisioned smoothly on the affected env.

Looks like some connection issue to the master node happened during provisioning.

[Andrey Sledzinskiy (asledzinskiy)]

Ok, thank you Dennis. I will run this test again on 25 ISO and move it to invalid in case this issue won't be reproduced again

[Andrey Sledzinskiy (asledzinskiy)]

Issue is still reproduced locally and on CI

Actually this is not a problem the essential packages (such as base-files) can work even without configuration.
Also awk (implicitly) depends on base-files, so in order to break the dependency loop base-file is installed before awk.
