Hi Team,
I have an all in one Maas 3.2.x setup using apt. While working on hardening of the OS, removal of a package resulted in the purge of maas related packages maas-common maas-rack-controller maas maas-region-controller maas-region-api. Database was not touched. In order to fix the case, I reinstalled the purged packages and made sure maasdb user has the right password set (the one in /etc/maas/regiond.conf).
maas-regiond service is running, however logs shows database connectivity issues:
Error starting: Connection to database cannot be established.
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have confirmed that the db details in /etc/maas/regiond.conf is correct. The same details can be seen when running command sudo maas-region diffsettings | grep DATABASES.
Right now nothing works, because region controller cannot establish db connection. Appreciate any lead on this.
Thanks!
