Description Jeremy Cline 2025-09-11 13:58:43 UTC

Similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2390898 - the `Before=auditd.service` dependency in cloud-init-local.service results in the following cycle in Azure cloud images:

Sep 11 13:44:44 systemd[1]: sysinit.target: Found ordering cycle: auditd.service/start after cloud-init-local.service/start after hypervkvpd.service/start after basic.target/start after sockets.target/start after dbus.socket/start after sysinit.target/start - after auditd.service
Sep 11 13:44:44 systemd[1]: sysinit.target: Unable to break cycle starting with sysinit.target/start
Sep 11 13:44:44 systemd[1]: Requested transaction contains an unfixable cyclic ordering dependency: Resource deadlock avoided

Fortunately, upstream agreed to revert the dependency on auditd and that's been merged in https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/pull/6448. Testing indicates it resolves this cycle.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the Fedora 43 Beta 1.3 image
2. Search the journal for "ordering cycle"
3.
