Bug Description

I got the following error when deploying a cloud:

This is cs:trusty/nova-compute-3. Looking the fetch/__init__.py, it has code to build the
cache in memory, but it seems like it's not working as intended.

I wasn't able to reproduce it but I think the likely cause is that filter_installed_packages builds the package cache in memory but the src package cache on disk. I have a mp to charm helpers to fix this

As tribaal pointed out there were other functions in charmhelpers which suffered from this bug so I've updated charmhelpers and created mps which contain the latest update.

It seems we also have an omission here. I just hit this issue with ceph-radosgw today. It still uses apt.Cache() directly instead of using charmhelpers for this.

Agreed, ceph-radosgw was missed. I'll get that updated
