openstack: salt_masterless provisioner: Closed SSH session, return code: 2300218

This issue was originally opened by @richardfelkl in https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/5607 and has been migrated to this repository. The original issue description is below.

Hello,

I've got a problem when using salt provisioner or salt-call command with packer it immediately closes the packer SSH session ant the build exits with failure.

I'm using OpenStack as a builder. I have no problems with running the shell provisioners. But if I use salt-call command in a shell provisioner or if I use salt_masterless provisioner I'm having an issue above.

Is there any workaround or solution for this?

Packer version: 1.1.2_linux_amd64 Host Sytem: Ubuntu 16.04

Packer log:

openstack

output will be in this color.
