[Bug 1090482] [NEW] over-ridding distro config still broken

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

bug reported in bug 1076811 is still affecting trunk.

See this example:

$ ec2metadata --user-data
#cloud-config
system_info:
   # This will affect which distro class gets used
   distro: ubuntu
   # Other config here will be given to the distro class and/or path classes
   package_mirrors:
     - arches: [i386, amd64]
       failsafe:
         primary: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
         security: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
       search:
         primary:
           - http://bogus.invalid.com/ubuntu/
         security: []
     - arches: [armhf, armel, default]
       failsafe:
         primary: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports
         security: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports


That resulted in:
$ grep -v "^#" /etc/apt/sources.list  | grep . | head -n 4
deb http://nova.clouds.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main
deb-src http://nova.clouds.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring main
deb http://nova.clouds.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-updates main
deb-src http://nova.clouds.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-updates main


debugging with, I added these lines to /usr/share/pyshared/cloudinit/config/cc_apt_configure.py right
before the call to cloud.datasource.get_package_mirror_info() in find_apt_mirror_info.
    print "cloud.distro: %s" % cloud.distro
    print "  package_mirrors: %s" % cloud.distro.get_option("package_mirrors", [])
    print "cloud.datasource.distro: %s" % cloud.datasource.distro
    print "  package_mirrors: %s" % cloud.datasource.distro.get_option("package_mirrors", [])

The issue is that the 'datasource's distro != the 'cloud's distro.
