我在使用结构脚本引导 EC2 上的服务器时遇到了一个奇怪的问题。
我启动了原装的 Ubuntu 12.04 AMI (ami-3d4ff254)，等待它启动，然后继续：
with settings(host_string="ubuntu@%s" % i.dns_name,
connection_attempts=30):
sudo('apt-get -qy update')
sudo('apt-get -qy install --no-install-recommends mdadm') # don't install postfix
#etc...
似乎apt-get update运行正常并且没有错误，但是（大约 2/3 的时间）安装mdadm会引发“无安装候选项”错误。
当我通过 ssh 进入服务器并运行时，apt-get install mdadm我收到相同的错误。apt-get update手动运行，然后包安装正常。
对于可能发生的事情有什么想法，或者调试的想法吗？
编辑：事实证明，sleep(10)在 SSH 服务器启动后尝试之前添加一个apt-get update，效果很好。这似乎是此 AMI 上的 apt 配置问题，可能还与 Amazon 方面存在一些异常，或 DNS 问题有关。
以下是我的参赛作品/etc/apt/sources.list：

我不知道为什么前者充满了更多的Hits和Igns。
答案1
如果没有更深入的测试（我现在不打算这么做），很难说确切地发生了什么事，但总体情况是：
当您首次在 EC2 上启动 Ubuntu 云实例时，会运行一个脚本，该脚本会针对 EC2 环境对其进行一些自定义。其中一件事是，您的脚本/etc/apt/sources.list被重写以指向托管在 Amazon S3 中的 Ubuntu 镜像（这意味着您无需为安装/更新软件支付带宽费用）。
我的猜测是，亚马逊档案和一般档案之间存在一些微妙的差异，导致了您所看到的奇怪现象；经过更多的测试和探索，您可能会发现它到底是什么。
我为了让您的部署脚本正常工作，建议等到 Ubuntu 的所有初始化工作完成后再运行您自己的脚本。
