Cloud init stopped working on edge/cloud image of alpine

Installing a container from images:alpine/edge/cloud gives cloud-init errors and it refuses to work:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/cloud-init", line 33, in <module>

The same installation process runs correctly on images:alpine/3.16/cloud.

This sounds like an issue better reported to upstream Alpine.

Sounds similar to https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/11195#issuecomment-1423804864

Sorry, I don’t understand your comment, I’m not using any ISO, I’m using your images.

I meant the alpine/edge is built from upstream Alpine, so if there is a broken package its likely something broken there.
