Title:
cloud-init doesn't prefer new APT config format when old and new are
provided
Status in cloud-init:
Fix Released
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in cloud-init source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
==== Begin SRU Template ====
[Impact]
New apt configuration was enabled, but if the user provided both new
configuration format and old configuration format, then then cloud-init
would error.
The fixed behavior is to allow new and old and warn if they differ.
This allows a user to provide the same data for older releases and
newer release.
[Test Case]
# Recreate failure (this would recreate on intermediate versions of
# cloud-init that were in trusty, but will not on xenial version.
# testing the working path is still valid though to ensure it functions.
# you will need to adjust both proxy settings to a local proxy.

[Regression Potential]
The apt feature itself (added under bug 1574113) could have regressions, as
seen in bug 1621180.
This fix specifically relaxed cloud-init's behavior, making it more backwards
compatible. It should not be too prone to regression itself.
==== End SRU Template ====
Trying to use the new configuration format of APT configuration while
still providing the OLD format, causes cloud-init fails to configure
APT.
cloud-init should be ignoring the old format if the new format is
provided to ensure backwards compat.
This is a problem for MAAS provided that we cannot safely
differentiate / determine what cloud-init version we are using for a
specific release we are deploying, and as such, we still need to send
the old config while still providing the new one because:
1. Yakkety uses newer cloud-init with new format above
2. Xenial, Trusty, Precise use older cloud-init that doesn't support new
format.
And this is a problem because:
1. MAAS won't be able to use derived repositories in Xenial, Trusty, Precise
until this gets backported into cloud-init.
2. Commission is done in Xenial, while deployment in Yakkety, but both may
require the same config, but it is only supported in Yakkety's cloud-init.
3. Users may be using old images that may not contain new cloud-init at all,
and even though the release already supports it, the image they are using
doesn't and they have to continue to use the old format.
4. MAAS cannot differentiate/identify which cloud-init version its being
used, as such, needs to sends both old and new config.
