[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#774816: nova-common: inappropriate rabbit_password modification during upgrade

[Alberto Molina Coballes]

Package: nova-common
Version: 2014.1.3-7.1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After a non-interactive upgrade with the commands:

export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
yes '' | apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" dist-upgrade

rabbitmq server becomes unreachable.

During upgrade /etc/nova/nova.conf has been altered, specifically the line rabbit_password

Initially this line was:

rabbit_password = "XXXX&XXXX"

After upgrade, the line changes to:

rabbit_password = "XXXXrabbit_password = "XXXX&XXXX"XXXX"

Note: The password has an ampersand, and maybe this is the reason of this strange behaviour. rabbit_password can be defined with or without quotation marks, in both cases the same change occurs.

The same alteration has been observed at least in neutron, cinder and glance packages

Thanks

Alberto
