In a matter of fact, I've installed also the other flavor of it, just to make sure I am not hitting any *alpha* bug. So, let's remove the *snap* version of *conjure-up* and try the one from the repository: ```bash drpaneas@ubuntu1704:~$ sudo snap remove conjure-up conjure-up removed ``` As you can see it has been successfully removed: ```bash drpaneas@ubuntu1704:~$ sudo snap list Name Version Rev Developer Notes core 16-2 1689 canonical - ``` Now, let's see what version of *conjure-up* is avail in our repos (*currently running 17.04*): ```bash drpaneas@ubuntu1704:~$ sudo apt-cache madison conjure-up conjure-up | 2.0.1 | http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty/universe amd64 Packages conjure-up | 2.0.1 | http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty/universe i386 Packages ``` So, the *2.0.1* seems to be quite outdated compared to 2.3.alpha, but anyway, let's give it a shot: ```bash drpaneas@ubuntu1704:~$ sudo apt-get install conjure-up Reading package lists...

Need to get 48,1 MB of archives. After this operation, 264 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y ``` As you can see, *lxd* seems to be a valid dependency in this case, so it makes sense that it is going to be installed. After the installation got finished, there was some kind of interesting output during the *post installation scripts* of the individual packages that were installed (as part of the *conjure-up* dependencies): *ebtables* ```bash Setting up ebtables (2.0.10.4-3.5ubuntu1.17.04.1) ... Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ebtables.service → /lib/systemd/system/ebtables.service. update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults ``` ^ Do you think I have to file a bug for this warning? Seems pretty unharmed, but it's kind of ugly, isn't? *lxcfs* ```bash Setting up lxcfs (2.0.7-0ubuntu1~17.04.1) ... Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/lxcfs.service → /lib/systemd/system/lxcfs.service. ``` *lxd* ```bash Setting up lxd (2.12-0ubuntu3) ...

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/lxd.socket → /lib/systemd/system/lxd.socket. Setting up lxd dnsmasq configuration. To go through the initial LXD configuration, run: lxd init ``` *conjure-up* ```bash Setting up conjure-up (2.0.1) ... Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/conjure-up.service → /lib/systemd/system/conjure-up.service. ``` So, let's check if the aforementioned systemd-services are active or not: ```bash drpaneas@ubuntu1704:~$ sudo systemctl status ebtables.service ● ebtables.service - ebtables ruleset management Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ebtables.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (exited) since Tue 2017-06-20 00:29:42 CEST; 8min ago Main PID: 3982 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: /system.slice/ebtables.service Jun 20 00:29:42 ubuntu1704 systemd[1]: Starting ebtables ruleset management...

So, let's run `conjure-up` again: ```bash drpaneas@ubuntu1704:~$ conjure-up [info] No spells found, syncing from registry, please wait. Choose from this list of recommended spells Apache Hadoop + Apache Kafka Cluster Apache Hadoop + Apache Spark Cluster Apache Hadoop Cluster Apache Hadoop/Spark/Zeppelin Realtime Syslog Analytics Apache Spark Cluster HA Ghost with MySQL Kubernetes Core Landscape OpenStack with NovaKVM OpenStack with NovaLXD The Canonical Distribution of Kubernetes ``` As it works perfectly. So, it seems that the *snap* version of *conjure-up* is kind of *broken*.
