[Rdo-list] Fwd: RDO, packstack, Keypair creation is failing

Wed Feb 10 18:40:49 UTC 2016

Hi Javier,

It looks like I posted too quickly about having all of the updates... I was
missing five updates, and one included the python-cffi package.
I just updated the packages to include:

Updated:
  pyOpenSSL.noarch 0:0.15.1-1.el7                      python-cffi.x86_64
0:1.1.2-3.el7                      python-pyasn1.noarch 0:0.1.8-2.el7
               tzdata.noarch 0:2016a-1.el7
 tzdata-java.noarch 0:2016a-1.el7

After that, I reran your script, and it appears to work.  I received
[root at slacker2 nova(keystone_admin)]# python test.py
6b:f4:36:18:bc:d2:47:f2:d8:7b:10:39:eb:04:d6:3f

I tried the keypair add command after updating, and it didn't work.
Then, I rebooted, and now it looks like it works!

I guess it must have been a not updated package!

Thank you!
Barbara
