[Bug 1872671] Re: [Focal] Policy files are missing

[Albert Damen]

I created a new horizon host on focal and installed openstack-dashboard.

openstack-dashboard:
  Installed: 3:18.3.2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1
  
apache error log showed many errors about missing policy files
admin panel was visible while logged in as non-admin user

I enabled focal-proposed and upgraded openstack-dashboard

openstack-dashboard:
  Installed: 3:18.3.2-0ubuntu0.20.04.2

no error messages about missing policy files
admin panel was not visible for non-admin user
started and deleted new instance as non-admin user
switched to admin user and verified admin operations still worked

  The policy files are indeed missing from the package:

  dpkg -L python3-django-horizon | grep json$
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/horizon/xstatic/pkg/angular/data/errors.json
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/horizon/xstatic/pkg/angular/data/version.json
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/horizon-18.2.1.dev1.egg-info/pbr.json

  Logging in with a normal user account (without admin role) still shows
  the admin panel and buttons a normal user cannot use, like
  identity/users "create user". Trying to use these either doesn't work
  or throws errors like "Unable to retrieve xxx".

  Copying the policy files from the source package solves the problem.

  [Regression Potential]
  Very low, this patch is just adding necessary policy files back into the package that have already existed in prior releases.
