Description of problem: On Icehouse RC1, the neutron L3 agent fails to start without installing python-novaclient. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openstack-neutron-2014.1-0.13.rc1.el6.noarch How reproducible: Consistent. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RC1 neutron packages on dedicated network node (i.e., without Nova components). 2. Attempt to start the neutron L3 agent. Actual results: The init script fails to start the neutron L3 agent. Nothing appears in /var/log/neutron/l3-agent.log. Attempting to start the agent manually provides additional information: # sudo -u neutron /usr/bin/neutron-l3-agent Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/neutron-l3-agent", line 6, in <module> from neutron.agent.l3_agent import main File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/neutron/agent/l3_agent.py", line 44, in <module> from neutron.services.firewall.agents.l3reference import firewall_l3_agent File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/neutron/services/firewall/agents/l3reference/firewall_l3_agent.py", line 28, in <module> from neutron.extensions import firewall as fw_ext File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/neutron/extensions/firewall.py", line 27, in <module> from neutron.api.v2 import resource_helper File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/neutron/api/v2/resource_helper.py", line 20, in <module> from neutron.api.v2 import base File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/neutron/api/v2/base.py", line 30, in <module> from neutron.notifiers import nova File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/neutron/notifiers/nova.py", line 16, in <module> import novaclient.v1_1.client as nclient ImportError: No module named novaclient.v1_1.client Expected results: Neutron L3 agent starts.
Livnat looks like there is a missing dependency on our neutron package?
(In reply to Stephen Gordon from comment #1) > Livnat looks like there is a missing dependency on our neutron package? adding Terry to take a look and fix if needed.
This issue also appears to affect neutron-server.
novaclient dependency is present in both Icehouse and Juno builds for RDO.
