Installing MAAS from cloud-tools-next on precise fails

[Ryan Harper]

Reproduction Steps:

1. boot a precise cloud image
2. sudo apt-add-repository -r -y ppa:ubuntu-cloud-archive/cloud-tools-next
3. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install maas
During install, failure appears like this:

Synced:
 > django.contrib.auth
 > django.contrib.contenttypes
 > django.contrib.sessions
 > django.contrib.sites
 > django.contrib.messages
 > django.contrib.staticfiles
 > piston
 > south

Not synced (use migrations):
 - maasserver
 - metadataserver
(use ./manage.py migrate to migrate these)

The file is part of 0.7.5 as I can see on saucy:

Assigned to both ubuntu mpackage and maas trunk because the package should have a versioned dependency on python-django-south, which should have come from upstream.

I don't think this should be on upstream, the package versioning is all done
in packaging. What did you have in mind to change in the maas code?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Diogo Matsubara (matsubara)]

Hi Ryan, I tried this in a pristine precise VM with the current version of maas in cloud-tools-next (1.5+bzr2252-0ubuntu1~ctools0) and didn't get any errors during install. I didn't get errors when I ran the upgrade test from cloud-tools to cloud-tools-next either so I'm closing this as invalid. Please re-open if you are able to reproduce.
Thanks!
