[Bug 459204] [NEW] The text debconf template eucalyptus/publicips is wrong

[Etienne Goyer]

Public bug reported:

In karmic, eucalyptus 1.6~bzr931-0ubuntu7, the text of the
eucalyptus/publicips debconf template is wrong.  It says the following:

Please specify one or more ranges of IP addresses, e.g.:
  192.168.1.100-192.168.1.199 
or
 192.168.2.50-192.168.2.99 192.168.2.150-192.168.2.199


The range you enter is used as-is for the value of VNET_PUBLICIPS in /etc/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.conf.  The result, when trying to run an instance, will give you:

cloudmaster at uec-frontend:~$ euca-run-instances -t c1.medium -k warthogs-key emi-00561159
FinishedVerify: Not enough resources available: addresses (try --addressing private)


Moreover, running euca-describe-address return nothing.  That appears to be because Eucalyptus expect the value of VNET_PUBLICIPS to be a list of space-separated IP, not a range (at least, that is how it was in jaunty).  If you change the value of VNET_PUBLICIPS to a list of space-separated IP and restart Eucalyptus, you can start instance without specifying "--addressing private", and euca-describe-addresses return the list of addresses as expected.

Marking priority High, as this could result in a (apparently) non-
working installation of Eucalyptus.
