Bug Description

Using a config like this:

    type: ec2
    default-series: precise
    juju-origin: ppa

I run "juju bootstrap" and get a positive outcome. I then wait a bit and run "juju status" and get the SSH prompt to verify the fingerprint and after typing "yes" nothing happens.

Using oneiric, it works fine.

The original problem of juju failing on precise was caused because libc6 is upgraded during the apt-get -y install juju. The libc6 debconf questions caused a hang.

The appropriate solution is for juju to stop using runcmd to install itself, but instead use the appropriate yaml to designate packages and PPA's to utilize.

summary: - Hang on "juju status" with EC2 and Precise

I'm not sure if it's related to the fix of this issue or my setup but with the latest version of juju, cloud-init tries to install juju's recommended packages and makes the installation fail if your using lxc containers.
