[SRU] "ImportError: No module named pexpect" when setting up maas-region-controller

[Haw Loeung]

[Impact]
 * Install required deps for maas-provisioningserver (move from maas-region-controller) so it installs in correct order.

[Testcase]
 * Install python-maas-provisioningserver without error (will throw No module named pexpect if not including fix)

[Regression Potential]
 * Almost none

Hi,

We're upgrading our MAAS infrastructure from precise+MAAS 1.4 to trusty+MAAS 1.5. During a do-release-upgrade, we're seeing the following traceback when setting up maas-region-controller:

 in load_app
    models = import_module('%s.models' % app_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/utils/importlib.py", line 40, in import_module
    __import__(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/maasserver/models/__init__.py", line 44, in <module>
    from maasserver.models.bootimage import BootImage
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/maasserver/models/bootimage.py", line 26, in <module>
    from maasserver.models.nodegroup import NodeGroup
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/maasserver/models/nodegroup.py", line 35, in <module>
    from maasserver.refresh_worker import refresh_worker
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/maasserver/refresh_worker.py", line 21, in <module>
    from provisioningserver.tasks import refresh_secrets
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/provisioningserver/tasks.py", line 49, in <module>
    from provisioningserver.custom_hardware.virsh import probe_virsh_and_enlist
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/provisioningserver/custom_hardware/virsh.py", line 18, in <module>
    import pexpect
ImportError: No module named pexpect

The python-pexpect package isn't installed because we have "APT::Install-Recommends" set to "false".

iF maas-region-controller 1.5.2+bzr2282-0ubuntu0.2 all MAAS server complete region controller
ii maas-region-controller-min 1.5.2+bzr2282-0ubuntu0.2 all MAAS Server minimum region controller

Regards,

Haw

The python-pexpect dependency needs to be moved to python-maas-provisioningserver so it works for both the cluster and region controllers.

This bug was fixed in the package maas - 1.6.1+bzr2550-0ubuntu1

---------------
maas (1.6.1+bzr2550-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium

  * New upstream bugfix release:
    - Auto-link node MACs to Networks (LP: #1341619)

  [ Julian Edwards ]
  * debian/maas-region-controller.postinst: Don't restart RabbitMQ on
    upgrades, just ensure it's running. Should prevent a race with the
    cluster celery restarting.
  * debian/rules: Pull upstream branch from the right place.

  [ Andres Rodriguez ]
  * debian/maas-region-controller.postinst: Ensure cluster celery is
    started if it also runs on the region.
