Hi Arnaud,
It is well known that there is an issue with Eventlet as in Bullseye,
and dnspython 2.0. However, we have a patch for it. I opened a release
team bug in the hope they accept the package, but so far, they haven't
replied to me. Please read this bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=994064
I am hereby CC-ing the bug, so that the release team sees it really
affects Debian users.
In advance of the release team acceptance, I have just dropped (a few
minutes ago) the patched package as it will be uploaded when the stable
release team accepts it:
http://bullseye-victoria.debian.net/debian/pool/bullseye-victoria-backports-nochange/main/p/python-eventlet/
Pleaese try it, and let me know if it solves your troubles.
If it doesn't, there's still a workaround: write in /etc/hosts all of
the entries you need, like the entry for rabbit.arnaudmorin.fr as per
your transport_url directive. This way, Neutron will not use the
Eventlet greendns function (or at least, it will not use dnspython to
resolve).
Please really let me know (and the Debian bug) if the patched Eventlet
fixes your trouble first though, as I didn't have the issue (because my
setup always write all the cluster nodes in /etc/hosts), and I need to
know if that fixes it.
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
