Answer 1

There is a fix in precise-proposed, enable this in your /etc/apt/sources.list:

• How do I add the "proposed" repository?

And then:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

and then restart MAAS with

sudo /etc/init.d/maas restart

this will solve your issue.

Answer 2

I had the same problem, had better luck by using juju from the PPA instead of the default precise apt repository.

Install add-apt-repository tool:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Add Juju PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:juju/stable

Install Juju core:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install juju-core
