[Bug 2065867] Please test proposed package

[Timo Aaltonen]

Hello James, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ceph into noble-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/19.2.0~git20240301.4c76c50-0ubuntu6.1
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.

Title:
  mgr: failed dependency - no module named distutils

Status in ceph package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ceph source package in Noble:
  Fix Committed
Status in ceph source package in Oracular:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]
  dashboard and volume ceph mgr modules fail to activate under Python 3.12 due to use of distutils.

  [ Test Plan ]
  sudo snap install --channel latest/edge/core24 microceph
  sudo microceph cluster bootstrap
  sudo microceph status

  for proposed testing we'll bake a core24-proposed snap to test with.

  [ Where problems could occur ]
  The proposed patch switches to using the vendored distutils in setuptools for the two imports in the ceph mgr modules that exhibit this issue - this is a minimal fix; codebase really needs refactoring to drop all use of distutils but that's outside of the scope on an SRU update.

  Other distutils usage gets caught by the distutils_hack that
  setuptools uses to inject its vendored copy into the distutils module
  location.

  [ Original Bug Report ]
  When running microceph on a core24 base, the ceph-mgr has errors on enabling specific modules - volume and dashboard.

  $ sudo microceph.ceph status
    cluster:
      id:     4e3ff87c-5320-4494-9d3c-42e69cc11398
      health: HEALTH_WARN
              Module 'volumes' has failed dependency: No module named 'distutils'
              OSD count 0 < osd_pool_default_size 3

    services:
      mon: 1 daemons, quorum joplin.glenview.com (age 5s)
      mgr: joplin.glenview.com(active, starting, since 0.942931s)
      osd: 0 osds: 0 up, 0 in

      objects: 0 objects, 0 B
      usage:   0 B used, 0 B / 0 B avail
      pgs:

  distutils as a standalone package was removed from noble - the ceph
  codebase makes quite a bit of use of distuils still which gets picked
  up by the distutils_hack in setuptools but not in the context of the
  mgr daemon.
