Package: waagent Version: 2.2.47-2 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: cjp...@gmail.com
Using a cloud-init configuration with "packages" (for installation during cloud-final.service) causes waagent to contend for the apt lock, causing failures to properly provision with cloud-init. Details from a user report can be found at [1]. The apt-get update performed by waagent-apt.service [2] may contend with apt operations being performed by cloud-init (during cloud-final.service). Cloud-init takes care to prevent contention by having the cloud-final service configured to run Before=apt-daily.service [3]. There is no similar logic to order waagent-apt (before or after) cloud-final/apt-daily. This Debian-specific service could probably be removed going forward in favor of setting the correct default archive for Azure images, rather than relying on a custom service to configure it at boot. I opened a merge-request [4] to possibly accomplish this. For existing releases, this could be mitigated by ordering the waagent service as Before=cloud-final.service. I'm happy to propose patches for Debian 10/11/sid if this seems like a reasonable course of action.
