[Maas-devel] MAAS uninstallable on Trusy

[Raphaël Badin]

A recent upgrade of the python-celery package in Trusty's archive 
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/celery/3.1.6-1ubuntu1/+publishinghistory) 
broke MAAS on trusty.  The symptom is that celery eats up a lot of 
memory before segfaulting.  This issue, being related to a dependency of 
MAAS, affects all Trusty versions (the daily PPA package, the package in 
main and the package in the cloud archive).

Our investigation thus far seems to indicate that librabbitmq might be 
responsible for the crash (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/6750300/ for 
details).

We're working on both identifying the issue precisely and finding a 
workaround.

Cheers,

R.
