[Bug 1553757] Re: dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/maas-region-controller.conf stat: cannot stat '/etc/dbconfig-common/maas-region-controller.conf': No such file or directory

Hi Paul

Sorry for not being clear enough. The actual issue/concern I have is:

stat: cannot stat '/etc/dbconfig-common/maas-region-controller.conf': No
such file or directory

So, I've only been able to reproduce in my system so far, but I have not
being able to reproduce it in any cleanly installed system with the
latest version of dbconfig-common in Xenial. (2.0.3). At first I thought
this was just my system being broken, but I now have not only been the
one coming across this issue. See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/1553648. That being said, I must
say that I've been using Xenial since very early, and I just started
seen this recently, probably the last couple weeks. Obviously, I've been
upgrading pretty much daily, but it would match the latest sync from
Debian.

Now, the way I'm reproducing this issue right now is an install. I have
remove/purged all the packages, include dbconfig common packages and
made sure that /etc/dbconfig-common doesn't exist :


roaksoax at unleashed:~/Desktop/project/packaging-1.10⟫ dpkg -l | grep dbconfig
1 roaksoax at unleashed:~/Desktop/project/packaging-1.10⟫ sudo apt-get install maas
Reading package lists... Done
[...]
The following additional packages will be installed:
  dbconfig-common dbconfig-pgsql isc-dhcp-server libecap2v5 maas-cli maas-common maas-dhcp maas-dns maas-proxy maas-rack-controller
[...]
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y


The installation resumes, and It asks me the question to: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15319155/ .Right after answering the questions (no matter if I say install the package maintainer's version  or  keep the local version currently installed) , it is always the same result:

Setting up maas-region-controller (2.0.0~alpha1+bzr4736-0ubuntu1~xenial2) ...

roaksoax at unleashed:~/Desktop/project/packaging-1.10⟫ ls -l /etc/dbconfig-common/

As you can see, the file doesn't get created. Now, what I'm really
wondering if is there is only an issue in systems where dbconfig-common
was first upgraded to the latest version  (2.0.3), and not on a freshly
installed system where dbconfig-common is latest, as I've not been able
to reproduce this on a freshly installed system yet.

PS: 
Now, to answer your last question, the question raised by UCF was never there because we preseed the following:

set_question maas-region-controller/dbconfig-install true

Or maybe, the preseeding doesn't really matter and we just have never
gotten into a similar situation, hence it never really has been shown
before.
