** Description changed:
- cloud-init 0.6.3-0ubuntu1.14 appears to depend on python-serial (due to
- the backported cloudsigma support patch), but this dependency is not
- specified in the package.
+ [Impact]
+ cloud-init will fail to run on an installation of Ubuntu which doesn't
include python-serial. This excludes normal cloud images (as they ship with
Landscape, which indirectly depends on it), but custom built images (or more
minimal images) will see this.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ Build an image with cloud-init in its default configuration but without
another package that depends on python-serial. cloud-init should run
successfully on boot.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ None; we are just adding a dependency which exists in the archive for all
versions and which is installed already in most deployments.
+
+ [Original Report]
+ cloud-init 0.6.3-0ubuntu1.14 appears to depend on python-serial (due to the
backported cloudsigma support patch), but this dependency is not specified in
the package.
I built a machine image via debootstrap and installing the cloud-init
package, but upon boot, cloud-init doesn't perform any of the expected
actions, and I get this backtrace in /var/log/boot.log:

ImportError: No module named serial
The fix would appear to be adding python-serial to Depends.
