linux-ec2 package security fix availability (Lucid)

[Tim Heckman]

Hey Robie,

Thank you for getting back to me. I did purge and then an install and
things are happy now. I'm going to claim a combination of gremlins and
PEBKAC and just pretend it didn't happen.

Sorry for the noise on the list and thanks again!

Cheers!
-Tim
