[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#840930: vmware-nsx: FTBFS: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SecurityGroup'

[Allison Randal]

The version of the neutron package currently in unstable and stretch
(9.1.1) is incompatible with the version of vmware-nsx in unstable
(8.0.0). During the Newton release cycle, Neutron was changed to move
SecurityGroup from:

neutron.db.securitygroups_db

to:

neutron.db.models.securitygroup

For the specific line of code failing in this FTBFS, see this change
that was made in the 9.1.0 release of vmware-nsx:

The fix for this bug is to package a compatible version of vmware-nsx.
Apparently the 9.1.0 package of vmware-nsx was created, but never
uploaded to unstable:
