trove smoke test broken with services not running (blocked charm)

When attempting to run a smoke test (on a lxd based local juju - but suspect that it will fail on all of them), the smoke test can't run because the trove charm gets blocked due to services not running (at least that's the error message):

Unit Workload Agent Machine Public address Ports Message
keystone/0* active idle 0 172.16.1.249 5000/tcp Unit is ready
mysql/0* active idle 1 172.16.1.178 3306/tcp Ready

trove/0* blocked idle 3 172.16.1.140 8779/tcp Services not running that should be:
 trove-api, trove-taskmanager, trove-conductor

It looks like the issue is with the an update to trove that's taken place, but something isn't working properly:

trove-api.log:

trove-conductor.log:

So it's either a MySQL initialisation error, credentials, or a change in trove version. Google search didn't yield anything obvious.
