I am updating my AIX72 Default PowerVC (I am using PowerVC 1.4.4.2) installation image to the latest version (7200-05-02-2114)

After the update cloud-init is not functioning properly.
Standard modules are run fine, but none of fhe commands in the runcmd section are executed

I am using cloud-init-0.7.5-4.2.ppc
I tried also updating to cloud-init-0.7.5-4.3.ppc, but after that cloud-init did not work at all; did not run ANY commands..

Errors in Cloud-init logs say:

I did update also sudo from the same yum repository, and that did update quite many dependency packages > so could there be some python etc conflict on my image now?

Anyone experiencing the same / any ideas how to debug / fix the issue?

Br,
tommi
