Cannot find the "/usr/share/ubuntu-scap-security-guides" directory.

[Ronnie]

I am trying to run the cis benchmark config. However, I was unable to find the directory "/usr/share/ubuntu-scap-security-guides". On checking the logs, I got a number of errors. Below is the ubuntu advantage log extract.

Hi Ronnie, just some questions around this issue:

1) Does the following error happened when running: ua enable cis ?
2) What cloud are you running ua on ?
3) What is the output of: cloud-init status --long
