[stable/rocky] grenade job is broken

[Slawek Kaplonski]

I just saw in the neutron-grenade job in stable/rocky branch error like:

It is strange as it does not seem to be 100% reproducible, in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/777123 it happened 2 times out of 4 rechecks (starting from 22/04 14:49):

Maybe some bionic nodes/mirrors issues?

[Bernard Cafarelli (bcafarel)]

Checking these 4 failures, fist 2 were run on inap-mtl01 provider, 3rd on rax, 4th on ovh-gra1 so it does not seem to be linked to a specific cloud provider

rocky CI has been fine for some weeks, so I think we can consider this issue has disappeared
