Commissioning failure with 20-maas-01-install-lldpd getting 404s downloading packages

We’re having a problem commissioning new systems in MaaS 3.2.6 … the 20-maas-01-install-lldpd script fails. It’s getting 404’s trying to download certain packages. What’s weird is that it’s trying to download old packages. It’s like the depsolver is selecting the wrong packages. Newer packages exist… yet, it’s trying to grab older ones.

When I look for the failing packages… they don’t exist… yet, newer/other versions are available. What makes the depsolver choose these wrong packages?

I’m experiencing something similiar MAAS version 3.1.0-10901-g.f1f8f1505. This causes the commissioning process to fail.

Experiencing the same behavior with MaaS 3.2.6, tried commissioning with 18.04, 20.04, 22.04 all the same result.
Worked around the issue by creating a commissioning script 00-apt-upgrade.sh with the following contents

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get update

If you don’t want to use a custom commissioning script:

  • change the default commissioning image to Jammy
  • change the default Ubuntu package repo a different mirror

@thomsley, i daresay this is the solution. not downloading the LLPD stuff is a sign of connectivity issues, usually. i’m going to treat your suggestion as the solution, but @aspeagle, @cmills, @sjtanner – if you don’t agree – repost / reopen at will.
