Package: google-compute-engine
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
If the google-compute-engine package is installed on a system not part of the
google cloud, the included services are started by the postinst script, and apt
hangs indefinitely (presumably because the services can't contact the google
infrastructure). The only way to recover at that point is to kill the
associated python3 processes from a different tty. Removing the package has an
almost identical result, with systemctl hanging instead.
Sometimes people make mistakes. It's entirely reasonable to imagine someone
moving a service from google to a different cloud provider, and trying to mimic
their environment as closely as possible with a 'dpkg --get-selections' or so,
and accidentally ending up in this state.
It should be possible to install this package in error and not have to kill
postinst subprocesses manually in order to recover.
Behavior is present in the buster (20190124-3) and sid/testing (20190916-1)
versions of google-compute-engine.
