Hello guys,
After a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 deployment with maas, we can’t install Mellanox OFED driver, each time it hangs on the package srptools and is stuck with the related daemon.
Here are the logs :

Do you know how this could be related to Maas ?
To fix this we have to reboot the server and try again, some times we need to use rmmod ib_srp
