Description

Install Packages part of the upgrade got stuck in the "Installing" state forever.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Ambari 2.4.1 with HDP 2.4.0.0 on at least 3 hosts
2. Register a repo for HDP 2.4+ or 2.5
3. Modify the ambari properties "agent.package.parallel.commands.limit=1" and "agent.auto.cache.update=false"
4. Modify /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/custom_actions/scripts/install_packages.py such as the def install_packages method always returns with 1 on at least 2 agents. Also delete the /var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/custom_actions/scripts/install_packages.pyo file on these agents.
5. Restart the agents to pick up the modified install_packages.py
6. Restart ambari server
7. Install bits for HDP 2.5
