I'm here to submit this bug for tracking this known issue for Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 in Azure.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Looks like this is fixed upstream in 2.1.2 and this version is currently in the process of being backported to all releases, which is being tracked in bug 1523715.

Since Xenial is already on 2.1.2, the correct bug status is Fix Released. Note that this doesn't reflect the status of existing supported releases. I won't create separate tasks to track the existing supported releases since they won't auto-close and due to bug 1523715 they will be fixed imminently anyway.

The SRU for 2.1.2 has been withdrawn at the request of Microsoft for Trusty and Vivid; the ETA for release of 2.1.x to Trusty and Vivid is currently unknown.

Reopening this bug as confirmed.

In an effort to keep an up-to-date list of bugs to work I have reviewed this report to verify it still requires a fix and it occurs on a supported version of Ubuntu.

Trusty updates as well as Xenial now have 2.1.3 in it. Marking as fix released.

If you disagree or have additional details, please feel free to add a comment and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.
