Bug description:
  apt-daily is now a systemd service rather than being invoked by
  cron.daily.  If one builds a custom AMI it is possible that the apt-
  daily.timer will fire during boot.  This can fire at the same time
  cloud-init is running and if cloud-init loses the race the invocation
  of apt (e.g. use of "packages:" in the config) will fail.

  There is a lot of discussion online about this change to apt-daily
  (e.g. unattended upgrades happening during business hours, delaying
  boot, etc.) and discussion of potential systemd changes regarding
  timers firing during boot (c.f.
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5659).

  While it would be better to solve this in apt itself, I suggest that
  cloud-init be defensive when calling apt and implement some retry
  mechanism.
