Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cloud-init
When I log in to my EC2 instance, I see the message: A newer build of the Ubuntu lucid server image is available. It is named 'release' and has build serial '20101228'. I'm a reasonably-experienced ubuntu sysadmin (with little cloud experience) and I don't know if or how I should obtain the newer build. FWIW, places I looked to try to learn include: * https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CloudInit * http://www.google.com/search?q=%22A+newer+build+of+the+Ubuntu+lucid+server+image+is+available.+It+is+named+'release'+and+has+build+serial%22 It would be nice if the message explained the status and my options a little more. If you don't want to lengthen an already-long MOTD, perhaps just a link to a wiki page or something that contains more details. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 $ apt-cache policy cloud-init cloud-init: Installed: 0.5.10-0ubuntu1.5 Candidate: 0.5.10-0ubuntu1.5 Version table: *** 0.5.10-0ubuntu1.5 0 500 http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.5.10-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages ** Affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704283 Title: insufficient details for "a newer build available" message -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
