Cloud-init was manually installed after first boot to simplify server setup.

Minimal cloud-init configuration which leads to failure:

#cloud-config
cloud_init_modules:
- users-groups

users:
- name: username

Output of "ip addr show":

Thank you for filing this bug, this is an issue and cloud-init will need to properly parse link/void interface types

This code path only runs when using old versions of iproute2 (~8 years old). The new codepath does not have the same issue. I don't forsee parsing old versions to get fixed, so I'm going to close this.
