You have been subscribed to a public bug: When trying to upgrade-charm nrpe-external-master, the upgrade-charm hook failed due to a previously failed install of ceilometer-common. dpkg complains about a su stanza failing in the postinst script of the package.
running dpkg --configure -a manually seems to fix the issue. root@host:/var/lib/dpkg/info# apt-cache policy ceilometer-common ceilometer-common: Installed: 2014.1.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2014.1.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2014.1.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2014.1.1-0ubuntu1~cloud0 0 500 http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/icehouse/main amd64 Packages 2014.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages root@host:/var/lib/dpkg/info# dpkg -l '*ceilometer*' |cat Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-===================================-=============================================-============-=============================================================================== ii ceilometer-agent-compute 2014.1.1-0ubuntu1 all ceilometer compute agent ii ceilometer-common 2014.1.1-0ubuntu1 all ceilometer common files ii python-ceilometer 2014.1.1-0ubuntu1 all ceilometer python libraries ii python-ceilometerclient 1.0.8-0ubuntu1 all Client library for Openstack ceilome ** Affects: ceilometer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ceilometer-common installation fails, requires manual fixing using dpkg --configure -a https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1344009 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
