[Bug 1473527] [NEW] module ssh-authkey-fingerprints fails Input/output error: /dev/console

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

Occasionally in vivid and wily I see:
  util.py[WARNING]: Running module ssh-authkey-fingerprints (<module 'cloudinit.config.cc_ssh_authkey_fingerprints' from '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/config/cc_ssh_authkey_fingerprints.py'>) failed


looking at the log shows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/stages.py", line 684, in _run_modules
    cc.run(run_name, mod.handle, func_args, freq=freq)

    with open(conpath, 'w') as wfh:
  OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error: '/dev/console'


the command line on this system looks like:
$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.19.0-22-generic root=UUID=f2b9580d-c4c4-4ba0-8c76-42c99059932f ro --- console=ttyS1,115200

The console is attached to an ipmi serial console.
