Public bug reported:

Hi!

We have some user-data files where we use the phone-home module of cloud-init.
So far we did not use it's "tries" parameter and everything worked.
However now in version 22.2 there was a change which causes cloud-init to fail. 
https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/compare/22.1...22.2#diff-a4aa83fbb946ba1ea7cf6c8dd5965cd62631dc9cb48d4baa50adddbfef06b82cL108

In our case this change in the exception handling throws a TypeError,
instead of the ValueError that is excepted:

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cloudinit/config/cc_phone_home.py", line 132, in handle
   tries = int(tries)  # type: ignore
TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'NoneType'

While we can add the "tries" parameter (and after that everything works just like before),
this exception should be handled properly.

Also according to guidelines:
1. Tell us your cloud provider
None
2. Any appropriate cloud-init configuration you can provide us
phone-home module
3. Perform the following on the system and attach it to this bug:
logs are attached

Best regards:
Zsolt
