[Bug 1780088] Re: Ceilometer Pike packages should require python-jsonpath-rw-ext 1.1.3 on 16.04

[Corey Bryant]

Only gabbi and ceilometer depend on python(3)-jsonpath-rw-ext:

$ apt rdepends python-jsonpath-rw-ext
python-jsonpath-rw-ext
Reverse Depends:
  Depends: python-ceilometer (>= 0.1.9)
  Depends: python-ceilometer (>= 0.1.9)
  Depends: python-gabbi

Considering that only gabbi and ceilometer depend on this package and
stable/pike upper-constraints is at 1.1.2, I think this is worthy of
backporting 1.1.2 to the Pike cloud archive.

  Ceilometer Pike packages should require python-jsonpath-rw-ext 1.1.2

Bug description:
  I'm using the Ubuntu Cloud Archive to install Pike packages on 16.04.

  With the default configuration of Ceilometer and Gnocchi I am seeing
  the following message when trying to process metrics from Keystone:

      WARNING ceilometer.dispatcher.gnocchi [-] metric $.payload.outcome
  - $.payload.outcome + 'identity.authenticate.' + $.payload.outcome is
  not handled by Gnocchi

  These metrics from Keystone are never received by Gnocchi.

  When I asked about this on the #openstack-telemetry IRC channel the
  developers found that this message is the result of an older version
  of the python-jsonpath-rw-ext package being installed from the Pike
  Cloud Archive. The xenial-updates/pike Ubuntu Cloud Archive repository
  has version 0.1.9 of python-jsonpath-rw-ext, where the developers
  suggest that version 1.1.3 is needed [1]. Specifically, this is
  required for the `identity.authenticate` event_type defined in the
  default packaged version of /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
  packages/ceilometer/data/meters.d/meters.yaml.

  It appears the 1.1.3 packages for python-jsonpath-rw-ext are already
  present in the Queens archive [2]. Could these be made available in
  the Pike repository as well?
