Yeap it's a strange issue, good to hear you get it resolved. /me still
didn't get why services were failing to start, No idea how to handle it
during deployment, If you can share more details wrt Error, Environment
details, how you got to identify that SMT was the issue, etc, maybe you can
create a bug so we can see if it's possible to handle the issue in
packstack itself if it's packstack related.
