Instead of Glances, I installed openstack-glance by mistake

First of all, I know nothing about openstack, keystone, glance … But,

I made a mistake when I install Glances in my Debian server.

I tried to install glances following this link

I have done this :

sudo apt-get install glances

In fact, Instead of glances, it suggested to me to install openstack – glance. I haven’t seen clearly the question and I have choosen (Y) to continue and have committed this error.

Now, I get blue screen which is the configuration of keystone and glance-api.

I am wondering whether my server will be reboot after the configuration of keystone / glance-api ? I don’t want to reboot my server.

whether keystone or glance impact network config ?

I am waiting in front of my blue screen for your help. Thank you.

Just abort it. The Keystone / Glance services cannot start until the configuration procedure has completed.

The you should be able to uninstall that package that was installed by mistake.

It won’t do that. Not even updating the kernel on a Linux system will force a reboot. But it may attempt to start the Keystone and Glance services, which you don’t want to happen. (It would be harmless to do that, but you don’t want your system running services that you don’t need and don’t understand.)

Do you know whether ‘openstack-glance’ will stop some process running or close some ports reserved by others services ?

There is no plausible reason for a package to close ports reserved for other services or kill processes belonging to other services.


However ….

I don’t want to reboot my server.

This is not a healthy situation. If your server is running something so critical that you should not reboot it, then your should NOT be installing packages on it in an uncontrolled fashion, like you seem to be doing. (IMO)
