ubuntu-cloudimg-query in precise cannot query for quantal

This affects LXC, as this means it cannot spawn new releases of ubuntu with the ubuntu-cloud template, and thus juju. I'm just adding them for tracking of the issue.

I've not been able to reproduce this - it seems to work just fine (tested on 12.04):

ubuntu-cloudimg-query quantal released amd64 --format '%{url}\n'
https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/server/releases/quantal/beta-2/ubuntu-12.10-beta2-server-cloudimg-amd64.tar.gz

I can reproduce over and over in a clean chroot:

Looks like missing dependencies. Namely, distro-info, once that is installed:

(precise-amd64)root@clint-MacBookPro:~# ubuntu-cloudimg-query quantal
/usr/bin/ubuntu-cloudimg-query: 61: /usr/bin/ubuntu-cloudimg-query: wget: not found
failed to get https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/query/quantal/server/released-dl.current.txt

And then with any release:

failed to get https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/query/lucid/server/released-dl.current.txt

Because ca-certificates is missing:

So, this boils down to three missing deps... distro-info, wget, and ca-certificates.

the distro-info is not a dependency its a Suggests.
wget and ca-certificates is valid though.

ah. the distro-info is aRecommends. and that is present in quantal.

This bug was fixed in the package cloud-utils - 0.26-0ubuntu2
