[Bug 1028682] [NEW] precise uec builds eat 100% cpu on launch, check-apt and rsyslogd

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Bryan Fullerton (fehwalker):

Launching a UEC image (in my case on Eucalyptus in system mode), but
I've seen similar reports in EC2. On launch, apt-check blocks initial
login for MINUTES while collecting information for package updates.
Afterward rsyslog eats 100% CPU failing to read proc/kmsg "Cannot read
proc file system: 1 - Operation not permitted".

This effectively makes Ubuntu 12.04 precise images useless in the cloud
and unsuitable as UEC sources.

I'll try to make a patch and provide fixed images, but this is appears
to be a regression from issues reported from Lucid and really needs a
proper test plan and fix to ensure new cloud images are usable.
