Bug Description

Binary package hint: ganeti

AFAICT the ganeti2 that ubuntu ships in lucid is just broken. It looks like the current stuff in debian is fixed, and there are more fixes due to show up soon.

http://groups.google.com/group/ganeti/browse_thread/thread/81b2c3e0ead4d43c
has my conversation with ganeti folk.

I confirm this bug; it's due to a Ganeti 2.0 incompatibility with Python 2.6.5, which was fixed in Ganeti 2.1.

The bug fix is trivial: http://git.ganeti.org/?p=ganeti.git;a=commit;h=6a180ca8d18005ded4cbf6c13e877ebcfc84a275

Unfortunately, the next release (Maverick or so) already has 2.1, so we can't backport from there. I would propose applying the above patch.

Impact: software doesn't work at all
How the bug is addressed: remedied Python 2.6.5 incompatibility regarding delattr()
Minimal patch: see link above
TEST CASE: after cluster initialization, "gnt-instance add -s 1g name" complains with:
    Unhandled protocol error while talking to the master daemon:
    Caught exception: src_node
  instead of complaining about "name not found" or missing disk template.

I'm proposing to update the package with the attached patch.

regards,
iustin

Version number should be "1ubuntu0.1"

Other than that, the debdiff's contents look okay, please fix versioning!

I might as well fix that. Re-uploaded to lucid-proposed

ACK for correctly-versioned one :)

I rejected the current upload, it's broken. You added a fix-python-2.6.5-compat.patch, but apparently did something weird during package build, so dpkg-source applied a debian-changes-2.0.5-1ubuntu0.1 patch which reverted your patch again. Please check debdiff before next upload. Thanks!

Accepted ganeti into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
