[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#861199: ceilometer-api systemd service fails to start

[Valentin Vidic]

Package: ceilometer-api
Version: 1:7.0.1-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The ceilometer-api.service does not start properly after
installation.  The following error is reported in syslog:

Apr 25 21:15:27 srv systemd[1]: Starting OpenStack Ceilometer API...
Apr 25 21:15:27 srv systemd[1]: Started OpenStack Ceilometer API.
Apr 25 21:15:29 srv ceilometer-api[18277]: usage: ceilometer-api [-h] [--port PORT] -- [passed options]
Apr 25 21:15:29 srv ceilometer-api[18277]: ceilometer-api: error: unrecognized arguments: --config-file=/etc/ceilometer/ceilometer.conf --log-file=/var/log/ceilometer/ceilometer-api.log
Apr 25 21:15:29 srv systemd[1]: ceilometer-api.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT
Apr 25 21:15:29 srv systemd[1]: ceilometer-api.service: Unit entered failed state.
Apr 25 21:15:29 srv systemd[1]: ceilometer-api.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

It seems that -- is missing before the arguments for the service.
