The ec2-init package should only be installed on an instance (or image) which is used inside of Amazon EC2 or compatible environment (Eucalyptus). End users should never install the ec2-init package themselves as it is only useful when building images for EC2/Eucalyptus.
Are there any other packages in Ubuntu which should never be installed by normal users? What protection do they take? Perhaps ec2-init could by default install itself in safety mode with no bootup actions and require an additional step to "activate" it. -- ec2-init hangs waiting for ec2 meta-data service https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/424065 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
