Salt-cloud crypto dependency fails.

[andrew-vant]

I rebuilt my salt master today and the salt.cloud state refuses to run, saying that the attempt to pip.install package 'crypto' failed. I tried it manually and it also failed. I looked at the package index located here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=index and see no package named 'crypto.'

I am confused, because this worked a month ago. Did the package get renamed in pip recently, or something? Shouldn't the distribution-provided crypto package be getting used anyway, if possible?

@andrew-vant Can you post more details such as salt --versions-report, what distro and OS are you on, what does your state look like, log output or any other relevant information?

Ubuntu 14.04. salt --versions-report gives me this:

           Salt: 2014.1.13
         Python: 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)
         Jinja2: 2.7.2
       M2Crypto: 0.21.1
 msgpack-python: 0.3.0
   msgpack-pure: Not Installed
       pycrypto: 2.6.1
         PyYAML: 3.10
          PyZMQ: 14.0.1
            ZMQ: 4.0.4

The state I'm trying to run is salt.cloud, which reported succeded:12, failed: 2. The output from the two that failed is:

---

      ID: salt-cloud
Function: pkg.installed
  Result: False
 Comment: One or more requisite failed
 Changes:   

---

      ID: crypto
Function: pip.installed
  Result: False
 Comment: Failed to install package crypto. Error: Downloading/unpacking crypto
            Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement crypto
          Cleaning up...
          No distributions at all found for crypto
          Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log
 Changes:   

I gathered from this that the salt-cloud package install has a require: for the crypto pip install, which is what's actually failing. I checked the source and that was the case (see line 23-29 in salt/cloud.sls). To determine if the problem was the salt state or something with the package itself, I tried to install it from the command line:

root@ajv-salt:/srv# pip install crypto
Downloading/unpacking crypto
  Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement crypto
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for crypto
Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log

Which looks to me like the package doesn't exist. I checked the PyPI index mentioned in the previous comment and don't see it, which seems to confirm that. At that point I came to report it here: cloud.sls has a requisite for a package that doesn't appear to exist.

You can repro by running salt-bootstrap on a clean Ubuntu 14.04 install, followed by applying the salt.cloud state.

A bit more confirmation: I pulled up another salt master I set up a month or so ago, using the same formula. It has a pip package called crypto installed. Trying to upgrade that package fails with the same message given above.

So it definitely was there before, and definitely isn't now. Someone renamed or removed it from PyPI.

@playfab-configmanagement Can you try again with the updated formula?

Sorry, posted with the wrong account.

Yes, I made a fork that has crypto removed after posting this - consider this resolved for me.

Closing.
