[Bug 2071939] Please test proposed package

[Andreas Hasenack]

Hello Alex, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ceilometer into noble-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceilometer/2:22.0.0-0ubuntu1.1 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-noble. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Meter definition files are not included in the binary package resulting in a non-functional ceilometer after install.

  [Test Case - Basic]
  sudo apt install python3-ceilometer
  find /usr/lib/python3 -name meters.yaml -> file is not found.

  [Test Case - Advanced]
  Deploy OpenStack Caracal using Charmed OpenStack Tester
  Ceilometer agents will fail to start due to missing data files.

  [Where problems could occur]
  Limited - we're picking a patch that's been in Debian for sometime (2016) so its had good testing exposure already; as to why we need this in Noble whereas in Mantic this problem did not exist - probably something todo with installation behaviour changes between Python versions.

  [Original Bug Report]
  The issue I discovered is that (in an installed system) the:

  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/pipeline/data/...

  directory is missing.  This is supplied by the python3-ceilometer .deb
  file.

  For bobcat (mantic):

  $ dpkg -c python3-ceilometer_21.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0_all.deb  | grep data
  drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2023-10-05 19:34 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/data/
  drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2023-10-05 19:34 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/data/meters.d/
  -rw-r--r-- root/root     13538 2023-10-04 12:09 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/data/meters.d/meters.yaml
  drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2023-10-05 19:34 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/pipeline/data/
  -rw-r--r-- root/root     17573 2023-10-04 12:09 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/pipeline/data/event_definitions.yaml
  -rw-r--r-- root/root       176 2023-10-04 12:09 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/pipeline/data/event_pipeline.yaml
  -rw-r--r-- root/root       175 2023-10-04 12:09 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/pipeline/data/pipeline.yaml
  drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2023-10-05 19:34 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-
  ...

  For caracal (noble):

  dpkg -c python3-ceilometer_22.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0_all.deb | grep data
  -rw-r--r-- root/root      5113 2024-04-03 12:08 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/tests/unit/compute/pollsters/test_location_metadata.py
  -rw-r--r-- root/root     32485 2024-04-03 12:08 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/tests/unit/ipmi/notifications/ipmi_test_data.py
  -rw-r--r-- root/root     14151 2024-04-03 12:08 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ceilometer/tests/unit/ipmi/platform/ipmitool_test_data.py

  i.e. the data directory is completely missing.  It is available in the
  upstream ceilometer repo:
  https://opendev.org/openstack/ceilometer/src/branch/stable/2024.1/ceilometer/pipeline/data

  I suspect something is amiss with the package src files.
