Engineering Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1951639 Title: Package installation unreliable on systems without RTC Status in cloud-init: Expired Bug description: It seems that when you specify "packages:" to be installed in the cloud-init user-data, it attempts to update the repository files and install the packages straight away, without waiting for date/time to be synchronized through NTP. This creates problems for systems without RTC (like the Raspberry Pi) that do not have valid date/time at that point yet, as apt throws a fit if the InRelease files are newer than current time. == Cloud-init v. 21.3-1-g6803368d-0ubuntu3 running 'modules:final' at Wed, 13 Oct 2021 13:33:26 +0000.
