Hello magnate, thanks for your report. This looks like a local configuration problem, rather than a bug in cloud-init. The cloud-init package (like all the packages in Ubuntu) do not install things in /usr/local/, so the cloud-init file you are trying to run does not come from the Ubuntu package. You probably tried to install cloud-init manually, without using apt. With the installation in a dirty state it's difficult to tell anything on what could be wrong.
Since we use this bug tracker to track bugs in cloud-init, rather than configuration or setup problems, I'm marking this bug as Invalid. If you believe that this is really a bug, then you may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in cloud-init rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to New. ** Changed in: cloud-init Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
