[Bug 2077975] Re: walinuxagent.service fails to start on oracular

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package walinuxagent - 2.11.1.4-0ubuntu2

---------------
walinuxagent (2.11.1.4-0ubuntu2) oracular; urgency=medium

  * fix d/p/embed-distutils-to-azurelinuxagent.patch to prevent
    azurelinuxagent/distutils/__init__.py to be created empty and thus ignored
    by dpkg-source which in turn would make setuptools miss the Python
    distutils package that would then be missing from the debian package
    (LP: #2077975).
