'UTAHProvisioningException: Failed to install client' on raring server provisioning after update to utah-client_0.5ubuntu15-r769~precise1_all.deb

[Para Siva]

The raring server tests are failing to installl utah client after provisioning with the following error. This seems to happen only after the upgrade from utah-client_0.5ubuntu14-r759~precise1_all.deb to utah-client_0.5ubuntu15-r769~precise1_all.deb

UTAHProvisioningException: Failed to install client

This will impact all the server tests and the failure is going to be quite high in number.
