According to: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/10/24/%23maas.txt

[12:30] <roaksoax> rvba: dbc_go: not found --> that doesn't really affect anything

Anyway I think it should be fixed

I suspect this is just that you may not use anything other than essential packages plus debconf itself in config scripts; any attempts to use anything not in that set generally ought to be moved to the postinst instead.

I overcome this by finishing config the maas-cluster-region first until the MAAS web interface can be accessed then installing the maas-region-controller. It works for me.
