** Description changed: + === Begin SRU Information === + [Impact] + * If an image does not have landscape-client installed inside it, and the + user provided landscape config, then: + a.) the landscape config file would be written with root:root permissions + so that the user that landscape runs as could not change it. + b.) the landscape package would not be installed. + + * The fix here is just to install the landscape-client package. This is + clearly what the user would want. + Additionally, no package installation occurs unless the user made that + request. The fix for 'a' is also addressed by this because the file will + exist on disk with proper permissions before cloud-init writes it, and + will thus keep the same ownership. + + [Test Case] + * launch instance with landscape config in user-data like the following: + #cloud-config + apt_upgrade: True + apt_sources: + - source: deb $MIRROR $RELEASE-proposed main + landscape: + client: + url: "https://landscape.canonical.com/message-system"; + ping_url: "http://landscape.canonical.com/ping"; + data_path: "/var/lib/landscape/client" + http_proxy: "http://my.proxy.com/foobar"; + tags: "server,cloud" + * upon investigation, /etc/landscape/client.conf should be owned + by 'landscape' user rather than root. + + [Regression Potential] + * This was broken before, so it is not likely to be broken worse now. + + === End SRU Information === + + When cloud-init runs and landscape-client is not installed, it creates /etc/landscape/client.conf owned as root:root, whereas landscape-client expects it to be landscape:root. The proper fix is although probably to require installation of landscape-client first, as it will create the file properly, and then landscape-client can update it.
