While changing a config on graylog charm I got hit by
```
unit-graylog-0: 12:03:23 ERROR unit.graylog/0.juju-log Hook error:

```
This showed up to be due to netifaces version in the virtual env of the charm
```
# netifaces==0.10.4
python3 -c 'import netifaces ; print(netifaces.gateways()["default"])'
{2: ('10.116.72.11', 'eth0'), 10: ('fa80::111:cdaf:eee8:19aa', 'eth1')}
# netifaces==0.11.0
/var/lib/juju/agents/unit-graylog-?/.venv/bin/python -c 'import netifaces ; print(netifaces.gateways()["default"])'
{10: ('fa80::111:cdaf:eee8:19aa', 'eth1')}
```
Downgrading netifaces<0.11 fixed the issue
```
/var/lib/juju/agents/unit-graylog-?/.venv/bin/python -m pip install 'netifaces<0.11'
```
Root cause analysis shows that starting from netifaces v0.11.0:
1 - netifaces only considers routes as default if they are defined on the main table
2 - netifaces selects the route with the lowest metric(highest prio) to show as the "default"
3 - combining 1 and 2: if the default route with the lowest metric is not on the main table, netifaces.
4 - charm-advanced-
5 - the issue is observed when the default route with the lowest metric is not on the main table. Hence the error:
iface = netifaces.
KeyError: 2
where 2 represents netifaces.AF_INET.
The issue can be resolved by any of the following:
- making sure the default route with the lowest metric is on the main table.
- pinning down the netifaces package
- proposing a patch to netifaces-plus if this _should_ not be the right behavior.(I am not exactly convinced that the default route MUST be in the main table..)
Relating the bug to the charm-advanced-
