Additional info:
The latest release of cloud-init requires prettytable.  I was able to find a spec file to build this for python26 on el5.  The spec file appears to be a slightly modified version of the spec file used on epel.

Comment 1 Pádraig Brady 2013-08-01 10:01:46 UTC

Interesting. So you're building cloud-init-0.7.x under el5
I thought there might be more dependency issues than prettytable.
Would it be feasible to update EPEL5 cloud-init to 0.7.x do you think?

Comment 2 Steven Hardy 2013-08-01 11:54:49 UTC

Background info from last time I looked at this:

Note that if you want to build cloud-init >= 0.7.2 you will need a recent (>= 2.6.0) version of python-boto IME, or the ec2 metadata retrieval doesn't work properly.  

0.7.1 seemed to work OK with boto 2.5.2 on F17, but had other issues with SSH key installation for non-distro-default users.

The current EPEL5 version of boto is python-boto-1.9b-6.el5, which seems unlikely to work with 0.7.2.

Also note that if you do rebase python-boto to 2.6.0 it introduces a non-backwards compatible change as it moves many AWS interfaces to using v4 signatures with no way to specify the previous behavior.  I guess this may be a problem for some EL5 users who may prefer interface stability at all costs.

Comment 3 Tom Scofield 2013-08-01 23:51:54 UTC

I need cloud-init 0.7.x for the cloud-drive support.  The python26-boto for el5 in epel is at version 2.5.2 so its not as far back as python-boto.  I was able to build cloud-init-0.7.2 against python26 once I installed the python26-prettytable.  I have not tested all of the functionality of cloud-inti yet but the basic functions I need worked.  

Adding the pyhton26-prettytable package would pave the way for current versions of the cloud-init package.

Same issue here, building cloud-init 0.7.5 today, seems like most dependencies are present in python26- form, expect for python26-prettytable

Fedora EPEL 5 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-03-31. Fedora EPEL 5
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
