All, Ubuntu 16.04 does not have JRE11 package as well as some packages for Python3 such as python3-distutils: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=python3-distutils&searchon=names
The Java 11 JRE requirement was introduced starting the 4.14.0.0 release and in the release notes workaround for JRE installation was mentioned [0]. With master/4.15 support for Python3 was added for KVM hosts and the management server but a critical issue [1] was recently identified due to which cloudstack-agent would fail installation on the older Ubuntu 16.04 due to missing python3-distutil (and other) dependencies. Ubuntu 16.04 will reach the end of standard support by April 2021 [2][3], and the next 4.15 release will add support for Ubuntu 20.04 [4][5] - so should we: (a) remove Ubuntu 16.04 from our list of supported distribution (for KVM host and management server) in 4.15? (b) (if there are users using 16.04) document workaround for installation/upgrade in the 4.15 release/upgrade notes? Thoughts, feedback? Thanks.
