Hi, Sorry for the slow reply to this bug. Could you please try reproducing on 12.04? I suspect it will still fail, but there were changes that might have fixed this issue.
It seems strange to me that DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND or DEBCONF_REDIR would affect chef. I'd even think that if it is installing packages, it *should* have something like DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive in its environment. Also, could you turn on cloud-config logging with: output: {all: '| tee -a /var/log/cloud-init-output.log'} and then attach the /var/log/cloud-init-output.log ? ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/961142 Title: chef 0.10: package installation: returned 100, expected 0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/961142/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
