Installation is no longer configuring canonical-certification.conf

[Rod Smith]

Installing via MAAS, as configured via maniacs-setup, SHOULD make changes to /etc/xdg/canonical-certification.conf for the local environment (local iperf server, KVM and LXD images, etc.); but this is no longer working. I believe this is a consequence of the fact that uvtool-libvirt is no longer being fully configured (as described in comment #2 to bug #1931586), which is leaving /etc/xdg/canonical-certification.conf named /etc/xdg/canonical-certification.conf-new when our custom curtin scripts run, so our scripts can't find the right file. We should either figure out how to fix the configuration problem with uvtool-libvirt or find another way around this problem.

as a quick fix, I'd propose making this change to the preseed:

 61 - &installcert
 62 #!/bin/sh
 63 echo "Installing certification tools...";
 64 echo " Running apt-get update...";
 65 apt-get update;
 66 echo " Installing checkbox certification...";
 67 echo "postfix postfix/mailname string maas.example.com" | debconf-set-selections;
 68 echo "postfix postfix/main_mailer_type string 'No Configuration'" | debconf-set-selections;
INSERT apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated uvtool-libvirt
INSERT apt-get -f install
 69 apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated dmidecode canonical-certification-server;
 70 sleep 60;
 71 echo "Done.";

It's a kludge, but should resolve the issues before we install CCS and populate the config file.

Note, since the issue seems to be how/when we're installing uvtool-libvirt (in an ephemeral environment) then I can't think of a better way to do this, aside from moving all this to a startup script instead that is run during the inital boot after deployment is complete.
