Public bug reported: Running ceph-deploy in focal, using python3.8, results in an error message:
[ceph_deploy][ERROR ] RuntimeError: AttributeError: module 'platform' has no attribute 'linux_distribution' It turns out platform.linux_distribution has been removed from python 3.8 (bpo-28167: Remove platform.linux_distribution, which was deprecated since 3.5.) One option may be to use the new distro module from https://pypi.org/project/distro/ As ceph-deploy already can use os-release as a fall-back option, I changed ceph-deploy to use that as the first option and could create a working ceph cluster. --- /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceph_deploy/hosts/remotes.py.bak 2020-02-21 16:12:36.716000000 +0000 +++ /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceph_deploy/hosts/remotes.py 2020-02-21 16:13:14.376000000 +0000 @@ -13,10 +13,10 @@ def platform_information(_linux_distribution=None): """ detect platform information from remote host """ - linux_distribution = _linux_distribution or platform.linux_distribution - distro, release, codename = linux_distribution() - if not distro: - distro, release, codename = parse_os_release() + #linux_distribution = _linux_distribution or platform.linux_distribution + #distro, release, codename = linux_distribution() + #if not distro: + distro, release, codename = parse_os_release() if not codename and 'debian' in distro.lower(): # this could be an empty string in Debian debian_codenames = { '10': 'buster', ** Affects: ceph-deploy (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864993 Title: platform.linux_distribution has been removed from Python3.8 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph-deploy/+bug/1864993/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
