Failed at stage "init" beccause it could not parse "ip addr show"

[Nils K]

Environment: Virtuozzo
Cloud provider: Strato AG Germany

Cloud-init was manually installed after first boot to simplify server setup.

Minimal cloud-init configuration which leads to failure:

  #cloud-config
  cloud_init_modules:
    - users-groups

  users:
    - name: username

Output of "ip addr show":

Thank you for filing this bug, this is an issue and cloud-init will need to properly parse link/void interface types
