Hey, I tried it with 12.04 (AWS ami-1de8d369), same error as before, as you suspected. I appended the cloud-init-output.log, but I couldn't get more information out of this.
I also logged the output of `env` inside a chef recipe: Started via cloud init: UPSTART_INSTANCE= SHLVL=1 INSTANCE= DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH=all UPSTART_JOB=cloud-config DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION=1.16.1.2 DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_NAME=postinst _=/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d TERM=linux PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE=chef DEBCONF_REDIR=1 DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND=1 UPSTART_EVENTS=filesystem started DPKG_NO_TSTP=yes PWD=/ DPKG_ADMINDIR=/var/lib/dpkg JOB=rsyslog Started as chef client from the command line client: LESSOPEN=| /usr/bin/lesspipe %s SUDO_GID=1000 MAIL=/var/mail/root USER=root SHLVL=1 HOME=/root SUDO_UID=1000 LOGNAME=root _=/usr/bin/chef-client TERM=xterm USERNAME=root PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LS_COLORS=rs=0:di=01;34:ln=01;36:mh=00:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:su=37;41:sg=30;43:ca=30;41:tw=30;42:ow=34;42:st=37;44:ex=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.lzma=01;31:*.tlz=01;31:*.txz=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.dz=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.lz=01;31:*.xz=01;31:*.bz2=01;31:*.bz=01;31:*.tbz=01;31:*.tbz2=01;31:*.tz=01;31:*.deb=01;31:*.rpm=01;31:*.jar=01;31:*.war=01;31:*.ear=01;31:*.sar=01;31:*.rar=01;31:*.ace=01;31:*.zoo=01;31:*.cpio=01;31:*.7z=01;31:*.rz=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*.jpeg=01;35:*.gif=01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.pbm=01;35:*.pgm=01;35:*.ppm=01;35:*.tga=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*.xpm=01;35:*.tif=01;35:*.tiff=01;35:*.png=01;35:*.svg=01;35:*.svgz=01;35:*.mng=01;35:*.pcx=01;35:*.mov=01;35:*.mpg=01;35:*.mpeg=01;35:*.m2v=01;35:*.mkv=01;35:*.webm=01;35:*.ogm=01;35:*.mp4=01;35:*.m4v=01;35:*.mp4v=01;35:*.vob=01;35:*.qt=01;35:*.nuv=01;35:*.wmv=01;35:*.asf=01;35:*.rm=01;35:*.rmvb=01;35:*.flc=01;35:*.avi=01;35:*.fli=01;35:*.flv=01;35:*.gl=01;35:*.dl=01;35:*.xcf=01;35:*.xwd=01;35:*.yuv=01;35:*.cgm=01;35:*.emf=01;35:*.axv=01;35:*.anx=01;35:*.ogv=01;35:*.ogx=01;35:*.aac=00;36:*.au=00;36:*.flac=00;36:*.mid=00;36:*.midi=00;36:*.mka=00;36:*.mp3=00;36:*.mpc=00;36:*.ogg=00;36:*.ra=00;36:*.wav=00;36:*.axa=00;36:*.oga=00;36:*.spx=00;36:*.xspf=00;36: SUDO_COMMAND=/bin/su SHELL=/bin/bash SUDO_USER=ubuntu LESSCLOSE=/usr/bin/lesspipe %s %s PWD=/ The DEBIAN_ Variables seems to confuse the call of mandb, when a package is installed.
