Comment 0 for bug 2071939

The issue I discovered is that (in an installed system) the:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/pipeline/data/...

directory is missing. This is supplied by the python3-ceilometer .deb file.

For bobcat (mantic):

$ dpkg -c python3-ceilometer_21.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0_all.deb | grep data
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2023-10-05 19:34 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/data/
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2023-10-05 19:34 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/data/meters.d/
-rw-r--r-- root/root 13538 2023-10-04 12:09 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/data/meters.d/meters.yaml

...

For caracal (noble):

dpkg -c python3-ceilometer_22.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0_all.deb | grep data
-rw-r--r-- root/root 5113 2024-04-03 12:08 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/tests/unit/compute/pollsters/test_location_metadata.py
-rw-r--r-- root/root 32485 2024-04-03 12:08 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/tests/unit/ipmi/notifications/ipmi_test_data.py
-rw-r--r-- root/root 14151 2024-04-03 12:08 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/tests/unit/ipmi/platform/ipmitool_test_data.py

i.e. the data directory is completely missing. It is available in the upstream ceilometer repo: https://opendev.org/openstack/ceilometer/src/branch/stable/2024.1/ceilometer/pipeline/data

I suspect something is amiss with the package src files.
