The cluster is overdue an upgrade to 10.04 from 8.04 (granted, some utility servers are already upgraded).
As such, there are many package upgrades etc that will be dealt with by upgrading the OS
Creating this as a tracking bug for it

Is this a tracking bug (should depend on the various issues, so them getting fixed makes this one closer to closable) or a bug entry for the upgrade itself (should block them, so that when this one is fixed those can be dealt with)?

I had them as depends originally, but then swapped them over.
These things "should" be fixed (or at least, the upgrade element) when we do the migration of the apaches, image scalers etc etc...
http://rt.wikimedia.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=22 is the RT ticket for this. Ryan Lane is working on this project (updating server binaries) but hasn't said anything since April. CT is also looking into this.

I think it's a case of too much ops work, not enough ops staff members
Hopefully with the couple of extra new hires, we'll get some more activity soon
The imagescalers can likely be upgraded very soon. Upgrades were tested in the past, but weren't pushed to all nodes. We need to retest with the het deploy changes, then we can upgrade that cluster.
We'll likely start there, then test changes for normal apaches.
