Bug Description
Using 0.7.9-48-
dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process
There's nothing else in cloud-init that'd be running dpkg so I suspect this is a race with e.g. an apt-get update running as part of a boot (nothing I've specifically asked for in other words).
I might try and work around this with aptdcon as per https:/
However it looks like cloud-init and package: is unreliable in other cases.
