@sacgarg @shalako This occurred because the Lucid stemcell included python, but the Trusty stemcell does not. So if scons is going to be a requirement for one of our jobs, we need to create a python package for it to depend on.

Thanks for your reply. Any ETA on the fix?

[leoRoss]

Your welcome @sacgarg,

@shalako will have insight as to how we can solve this issue (whether we can remove python dependencies from cf-mysql-release or if we need to add python to Trusty).

Perhaps he can provide you with a rough ETA?

We have not begun working on Trustry support for cf-mysql-release, as the BOSH team has not blessed a Trusty stemcell yet. This story can be moved the Services Public icebox, where it will remain until we have a blessed Trusty stemcell to work with.

@sacgarg We've fixed the issue you reported in this commit. However there are a few more changes that must be made before cf-mysql-release works with Trusty. Please keep an eye on this Pivotal Tracker story for progress on that.

Support for Ubuntu Trusty is included with final release v10.
