Looking later glusterfs-server package from Cosmic and late, the
tendency is to have glustereventsd disabled, in order to stay consistent
with the more modern package, this can be one avenue to fix the
situation

Of course, I haven't look nor discuss about upgrading to a more recent (non-eol 
version).
But this eol/non-eol discussion can still happen separately later on even after 
we have fix that particular install breakage issue.

I built a test package with the disabling glustereventsd part, and
installed it in a test container:

...
glusterd.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it. 
glustereventsd.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it. 
...

$ systemctl is-enabled glustereventsd.service 
disabled 

If I start it manually, everything works now, and the installation goes
smooth.

$ systemctl start glustereventsd.service

$ systemctl status glustereventsd.service 
● glustereventsd.service - Gluster Events Notifier 
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/glustereventsd.service; disabled; vendor 
preset: enabled) 
Active: active (running) since Mon 2019-05-27 17:47:14 UTC; 1s ago 
Main PID: 6175 (glustereventsd) 
Tasks: 2 (limit: 4915) 
CGroup: /system.slice/glustereventsd.service 
├─6175 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/sbin/glustereventsd --pid-file 
/var/run/glustereventsd.pid 
└─6176 /usr/bin/python2 /usr/sbin/glustereventsd --pid-file 
/var/run/glustereventsd.pid

The only downside, is that one shouldn't expect glusterfseventsd to be
up and running after the installation, but it's better that current
situation where nothing is installable at all.
