Current version affects https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-utils/+bug/1587971 , growpart in cloud-init doesn't work with the same error.
Sorah, please provide the version information for the title. Which version do you ask to bump to? Is it 0.27?
oops, forgot to write the target version. I've verified it gets fixed with https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-utils/0.29-0ubuntu5 . I suggest this (0.29) because it's the current latest version in the latest ubuntu, 16.10.
0.30 is out
and packaged
Thank you!
