1.21-rc1 does not support vivid

[James Page]

Bootstraps OK - but then fails to add any further units:

  "0":
    agent-state: started
    agent-version: 1.21-rc1
    dns-name: 10.5.2.232
    instance-id: 651aa718-57cf-4b6c-9e48-b32a1e5484d3
    instance-state: ACTIVE
    series: vivid
    hardware: arch=amd64 cpu-cores=1 mem=2048M root-disk=9216M
    state-server-member-status: has-vote
  "1":
    agent-state-info: invalid series "vivid"
    instance-id: pending
    series: vivid
  "2":
    agent-state-info: invalid series "vivid"
    instance-id: pending
    series: vivid

...

I rechecked and vivid is fine under 1.20.14.

It would appear that distro-info-data is not installed by default on the vivid cloud images; not sure whether this is expected or not.

[Curtis Hovey (sinzui)]

Our vivid local tests pass. This is expected since juju-local requires distro-info-data. In the case of booting into a cloud, the state-server is running on vivid without distro-info-data.

This case is somewhat mad. Juju doesn't know how to ask it's host what it is. Juju officially requires distro-info-data for a definitive answer, but will fallback to hardcoded rules to cover cases like windows and os x. BUT vivid is registered in
    ./version/supportedseries.go

Is the fallback is broken? I can see that vivid is in ubuntuSeries, but not in seriesVersions.

In the 1.21 branch, when Windows series info was pasted in, the vivid line was accidentally deleted.
