The original mail said:
| A new release of the Ubuntu Cloud Images for stable Ubuntu
| release 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) is available at [1]. These new images
| superseded the existing images [2]. Images are available for download or
| immediate use on EC2 via publish AMI ids. Users who wish to update their
| existing installations can do so with:
|   'apt-get update && apt-get distupgrade && reboot'.

Those links were incorrect, which is probably what lead you to
ami-6844f569.  That was a daily image from 20120401.  Daily images are
cleaned on a "keep 5 most recent" basis.  If you intended to use a daily
build, then you should make use of machine formated data in
  http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/query/
or
  http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/query2/
to get the right AMI id.

If you were intending to use a released build (which will never be
expired), then the correct link is:
   [1] https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/server/releases/oneiric/release-20120401/

Note, also that:
 * /query and /query2 data also contain 'release' information, so you can
   use tools to get that data reliably.
 * https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/server/releases/oneiric/release/ will
   always point you to the most current released image of the given
   release (ie, 'release' rather than 'release-YYYYMMDD')

specifcally, the ami corresponding to the one you listed above is:
  ami-2c32832d ap-northeast-1 ubuntu-oneiric-11.10-i386-server-20120401

Thank you for raising this issue.
