vmbuilder: --ec2-bundle triggers "AttributeError: 'Ubuntu' object has no attribute 'suite'"

[Eric Hammond]

This problem happens using vmbuilder on trunk.

When I specify --ec2-bundle (see entire command below) and I do not specify --ec2-kernel and --ec2-ramdisk, then the following error is generated:

2009-11-23 04:32:58,233 DEBUG : Oh, dear, an exception occurred
