Description Lars Kellogg-Stedman 2013-12-09 21:24:02 UTC 
Description of problem:

Installing packages seems like an obvious thing to want to do when first booting a cloud-init enabled image, but our cloud.cfg does not enable this module, so passing in user-data that looks like this...

    #cloud-config
    packages:
      - git

...will do nothing.

Upstream conversation + workaround info for this bug:

  https://lists.launchpad.net/cloud-init/msg00023.html

There is a 2nd bug which affects this module (needing to manually set /var/run/reboot-required), but it's not a show stopper to enabling the module.
Comment 3 Lars Kellogg-Stedman 2014-09-08 19:06:29 UTC 
Latest cloud-init packages include the package-update-upgrade-install module.
