python-neutronclient 2.4 is required for kilo, but not packaged

[Scott Drennan]

According to https://launchpad.net/python-neutronclient/kilo/2.4.0 the 2.4 series is required for kilo, but 2.3.11 is the latest packaged version at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-neutronclient.

This means several kilo features are not accessible from neutronclient:

- subnet pool
- vlan transparency
- neutronclient extensions

among others.

See the commit history https://github.com/openstack/python-neutronclient/commits/stable/kilo for more details.

Thanks for reporting.

Since this bug was filed, python-neutronclient 1:2.6.0-1 has landed in Ubuntu Wily. Does this resolve your problem? I have to admit I don't know enough about Openstack to tell whether the requirement is 2.4.0 exactly, or 2.4.0 or newer.

Kilo only supports 2.4 and below, so packaging 2.5 or 2.6 will not solve this for Kilo.

Vivid issue.
