Comment 4 for bug 505482

@Eric
I can't reproduce this at the moment, I'm testing on ubuntu-lucid-daily-i386-server-20100301.manifest.xml . I don't actually know what would have changed to fix the problem you reported though.

I can verify failure, but only if I pass it invalid key to '--ec2cert <key>'.

It succeeds for me in either:
a.) no key given (the default in the ubuntu packages is now to use /usr/share/euca2ools/cert-ec2.pem -- bug 479836)
b.) ami-tools installed and --ec2cert /etc/ec2/amitools/cert-ec2.pem given.

The only time it fails is when there is, in fact, an invalid key given (such as non-existant file).
