cloud-init bug fix update

Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated cloud-init package that fixes a bug is now available for the Red Hat Common channel of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The cloud-init package provides a set of init scripts for cloud instances. Cloud instances need special scripts to run during initialization to retrieve and install ssh keys, and to let the user run various scripts.
This update fixes the following bug:
- A prior update incorrectly removed the cloud-init packages' dependency on the python-argparse package. Consequently, installing cloud-init did not automatically install python-argparse, which caused cloud-init to terminate unexpectedly if python-argparse was not already installed. With this update, python-argparse is again specified as a dependency of cloud-init. As a result, cloud-init no longer crashes in the scenario described. (BZ#1184826)
All users who want to use cloud-init should install this newly-released package.
