salt-master debian package upgrade to 2018.3.3+ds-1 fails

[dudleyperkins]

Description of Issue/Question

I just tried to upgrade the salt-master package, but the restart of the service during that upgrade fails. That leaves the salt-master package as unconfigured for dpkg and unusable on the system.

Error messages ( from /var/log/salt/master) during the restart are:

2018-10-25 06:28:32,267 [salt.log.setup :1165][ERROR ][6901] An un-handled exception was caught by salt's global exception handler:

We had the same problem after an unattended upgrade on Ubuntu installed 2018.3.3+ds-1 (we were already on 2018.3.3).

In our case, installing the python-concurrent.futures package mitigated the issue.

Thank you that did the trick.

I leave this issue open for now, cause i think this should be added as a dependency for the package. If a Developer states otherwise this might as well be closed.

This is being tracked over here.
