[Bug 1810857] Re: Typo in cloud-guest-utils: "reserveration-id"

[Rafael David Tinoco]

@rbasak,

On your question, the option is passed as an argument to EC2Metadata
object and it calls:

    def _get(self, uri, decode=True):
        url = "%s/%s" % (self.burl, uri)
        try:
            resp = urllib_request.urlopen(urllib_request.Request(url))
            value = resp.read()  

where uri == fixed spelling option.

Meaning that the http request would be broken no matter what and the
spelling fix is not just cosmetic.

I also fixed the SRU template (I had done it only for the main bug of
the 3, all 3 now have the template).

@Brian, I think this covers what you flagged as incomplete, pls let me
know if not.

Title:
  Typo in cloud-guest-utils: "reserveration-id"

Status in cloud-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-utils source package in Disco:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

    * DEP8 race condition for ppc64el (LP: #1836593): intermittent
  migration regressions.

    * growpart: fix bug when file image ends in a digit (LP: #1835124):
  image files can't end in ".ext4", for example, orelse growpart doesn't
  work.

    * fix spelling error in ec2metadata (LP: #1810857): no impact.

  [Test Case]

  $ ec2metadata --reservation-id
  Error: option --reservation-id not recognized
  ...

  $ ec2metadata | grep reserv
  reserveration-id: unavailable

  After applying this trivial (attached) patch, it works as expected:

  $ ec2metadata --reservation-id
  r-REDACTED

  $ ec2metadata | grep reserv
  reservation-id: r-REDACTED

  [Regression Potential]

   * Whoever has scripted ec2metadata already considering the misspelled
  command might find the wrapper stops working after the update.

  [Other Info]

  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:

  This may be related to Bug 510773.

  This typo actually breaks functionality (see below), it's not just
  "cosmetic"

  $ ec2metadata --reservation-id
  Error: option --reservation-id not recognized
  ...

  $ ec2metadata | grep reserv
  reserveration-id: unavailable

  After applying this trivial (attached) patch, it works as expected:

  $ ec2metadata --reservation-id
  r-REDACTED

  $ ec2metadata | grep reserv
  reservation-id: r-REDACTED
