Bug description:
  Upgrading python3-cinderclient from 1:4.1.0-0ubuntu1 to
  2:4.2.1-0ubuntu2 fails on Eoan due to a conflicting file between the
  two packages.

  It seems there is no equivalent 4.2 upgrade for python-cinderclient so
  anyone who previously had both versions installed now meet the
  conflict.
