Error bootstraping secondary node - populate() isn't reentrant

While boostraping secondary node, I got this error stack:

RuntimeError: populate() isn't reentrant

After checking on the, I found that it is some kind of generic error. To know ther real error, I modified /home/vlt-gui/env/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py

     75             # app_config should be pristine, otherwise the code below won't
     76             # guarantee that the order matches the order in INSTALLED_APPS.
     77             if self.app_configs:
     78                 self.app_configs = {}
     79                 # raise RuntimeError("populate() isn't reentrant")

Running bootstrap again :

ImportError: Shared object "libffi.so.6" not found, required by "_cffi_backend.so"

The real error is missing libffi.so.6 lib:

find / -name "libffi.so*"
/usr/local/lib/libffi.so
/usr/local/lib/libffi.so.7
/usr/local/lib/libffi.so.7.1.0

I fixed this by symlinking:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libffi.so.7 /usr/local/lib/libffi.so.6

Now bootstrap is working, but I guess this not the best way to fix this.
