Bug Description

Binary package hint: ec2-init

It seems like the command ec2-fetch-credentials do not work when being run in a jaunty instance (ec-init version 0.3.3ubuntu12), itself running on eucalyptus 1.5~bzr266-0ubuntu2 on jaunty. I believe, although I am not sure, that the output of the meta-data server is not parsed properly by ec2-fetch-credentials. Here is the output in question:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ wget http://169.254.169.254/2008-02-01/meta-data/public-keys/
--2009-09-18 17:55:29-- http://169.254.169.254/2008-02-01/meta-data/public-keys/

After investigation (thanks Marc!), it seems like Eucalyptus add a trailing newline to the output of http://169.254.169.254/2008-02-01/meta-data/public-keys/. That confuse ec2-fetch-credentials; adding a check for empty newline in get_ssh_keys() actually fix the bug, such as:

def get_ssh_keys():
    base_url = 'http://169.254.169.254/%s/meta-data' % api_ver
    data = urllib.urlopen('%s/public-keys/' % base_url).read()
    keyids = [line.split('=')[0] for line in data.split('\n') if line] <-- *** That is where to check for empty line ***
    return [urllib.urlopen('%s/public-keys/%d/openssh-key' % (base_url, int(keyid))).read().rstrip() for keyid in keyids]
