Reported by community user. packs.reload failed with the following error:

Community user reporting in.

Here's my /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/st2common/util/misc.py

Running st2ctl restart fixed the issue. The odd part is that st2actionrunners were running new code but the referenced method from st2common was missing i.e. still old code. This should not really happen but it oddly did - how could we end up in this situation where st2action module is updated but st2common is not?

It was updated @manasdk. I believe st2ctl restart wasn't issued during the setup wizard in the web gui after the stackstorm packages were updated.

Closing. If this happens again, please re-open. I believe this has been fixed in recent installer versions.
