Hmmm. I confirm what you see. I think this problem is arising because we have Packer run (due to LP#1693361): systemctl disable apt-daily.service systemctl disable apt-daily.timer
when building the AMI. I guess if apt-daily.service is disabled the Before is not transitive from cloud-init to apt-daily-upgrade via apt-daily? Not seeing anything definitive in the docs after a quick glance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1711428 Title: cloud-init sometimes fails on dpkg lock due to concurrent apt-daily- upgrade.service execution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-init/+bug/1711428/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
