Public bug reported: Summary === On Ubuntu Bionic and Xenial minimal images, there is no tzdata package. As a result, when cloud-init tries to set the timezone it will fail and produce a stack trace.
Expected Result === No trace and no failure of the cloud-config.service :) Actual result === 2020-07-20 18:13:22,515 - util.py[DEBUG]: Running module timezone (<module 'cloudinit.config.cc_timezone' from '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/config/cc_timezone.py'>) failed File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/config/cc_timezone.py", line 47, in handle cloud.distro.set_timezone(timezone) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/distros/debian.py", line 165, in set_timezone distros.set_etc_timezone(tz=tz, tz_file=self._find_tz_file(tz)) OSError: Invalid timezone America/Vancouver, no file found at /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Vancouver Steps to reproduce === $ wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/daily/server/minimal/releases/bionic/release/ubuntu-18.04-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img $ multipass launch file:///$(pwd)/ubuntu-18.04-minimal-cloudimg-amd64.img --name=bionic-minimal $ multipass exec bionic-minimal -- sudo systemctl list-units --failed --no-legend # note that cloud-config.service fails $ multipass exec bionic-minimal -- sudo cat /var/log/cloud-init.log | grep timezone ** Affects: cloud-init Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Summary === On Ubuntu Bionic and Xenial minimal images, there is no tzdata package.
