Comment 2 for bug 1423036

The issue originally was that packaging metadata for debs in the precise cloud archive was incorrect. This has now been fixed (I looked at the cloud archive repo to be sure). I can deploy a precise AWS environment just fine (see below). Note the line:

Installing package: cloud-image-utils

This was what broken previously before the upstream packaging change.

I looked at the log from a failed CI run http://juju-ci.vapour.ws:8080/job/aws-deploy-precise-amd64/2304/
and see this line:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  cloud-init cloud-initramfs-growroot cloud-utils

This implies that a stale mirror is being used for retrieving the cloud archive packages. The above is what happens when debs without the correct metadata are used.

Can we confirm that the issue is not due to a stale apt mirror?
