[Bug 1365852] Re: Setting "timezone:" fails: NameError: global name 'set_etc_timezone' is not defined

[Martin Pitt]

** Description changed:

  Current utopic's cloud-init fails to set a proper timezone. In my
  userdata I have "timezone: Europe/Berlin", but in the generated VM
  /etc/timezone has the default "Etc/UTC", and /etc/localtime is also just
  UTC.
  
  A look at the log files shows that the timezone plugin crashes. cloud-
  init-output.log:

  packages/cloudinit/config/cc_timezone.pyc'>) failed

  I attach both complete files for reference.
  
  I noticed this in VMs generated by "adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud -v".
+ 
+ Current utopic's cloud-init version is 0.7.6~bzr992-0ubuntu1.
+ 0.7.5-0ubuntu1 works fine (e. g. with "adt-buildvm-ubuntu-cloud -v -r
+ trusty").
