Deploying machine with install_rackd=True is not working

[Newell Jensen]

# maas admin machine deploy <system_id> install_rackd=True

deploys the machine but it does not create a rack controller.

Looking closer, cloud-init gave this error:

https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/s742Bkjk7S/

I tried the command manually on the deployed machine:

$ sudo snap install maas --devmode --channel=latest/edge
error: cannot install "maas": Post https://api.snapcraft.io/v2/snaps/refresh: dial tcp: lookup
       api.snapcraft.io: Temporary failure in name resolution

Trying to resolve manually:

$ curl -v http://api.snapcraft.io
* Rebuilt URL to: http://api.snapcraft.io/
* Could not resolve host: api.snapcraft.io
* Closing connection 0
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: api.snapcraft.io

This is the underlying issue currently.

The reason this is failing on the CI as well is due to:

This is not invalid. If we can install debs but not snaps there is a bug
