charm build is broken in bionic when installed from the apt repositories #402

Open pengale opened 6 years ago

pengale commented 6 years ago

To reproduce this issue, install charm-tools from the apt repositories on a 18.04/Bionic box, and attempt to run charm build.

It will fail while running pip3 with the following message:

    no such option: -d

A workaround is to install charm tools from a snap. In environments where this is not possible, however, the tools are simply broken.

The deb should have been pulled from the archive before 18.04 - it's out of date and no longer maintained.

@petevg I don't actually see it in apt search charm on bionic. Is it possible it was brought in by a PPA? I think it was in the Juju PPA at one point; maybe we need to remove it from that?

@marcoceppi We've had complaints about it being broken in xenial as well, assuming pip gets updated. I'm not sure what the best solution for this is, but it seems like just saying "it's out of date and no longer supported" isn't great.

We should pull the packages and have the new package snap install.

It's possible that the person who reported the bug to me was pulling from a ppa.

We still have docs telling people to apt install charm-tools, apparently. I like the idea of fixing the package by having it do a snap install.
