Ubuntu KVM agent installation warnings

problem

This is seen when installing cloudstack-agent deb pkg on Ubuntu 24.04:

Also installing iptables-persistent removed cloudstack-agent package :(

Further on host setup, I saw this in /var/log/cloudstack/agent/setup.log:

...
DEBUG:root:Failed to execute:Unit network-manager.service could not be found.
DEBUG:root:execute:route -n|awk '/^0.0.0.0/ {print $2,$8}'

    device = self.netcfg.getDefaultNetwork()
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudutils/networkConfig.py", line 51, in getDefaultNetwork
    dev = result[1]
          ~~~~~~^^^

However, I was able to add the KVM host and it just worked.

versions

ACS 4.20, with Ubuntu 24.04.1, on ARM64 host, typical adv zone configuration.

The steps to reproduce the bug

No response

What to do about it?

I'm wondering if these warning had any consequences or worth looking into.

I noticed the iptables-persistent package manager issue. You can use your own script to load the iptables on boot or use UFW instead I assume.

root@cs-dyni-1:/home/jd# crontab -l
@reboot /usr/sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables/rules.v4
