I think this bug should be considered fixed, we no longer have a weird error message on non-supported images. That won't make non Debian/Ubuntu /whatever-supports-etc-network-interfaces magically work. Not a big fan of throwing ImageUnacceptable exception if lsb_release is not Debian/Ubuntu: that could break images that support /e/n/i but overrided lsb_release. Therefore I think this should be closed as a duplicate of 666554. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 666554 _inject_net_info_fs in compute/disk.py fails if /etc/network doesn't exist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!

In method _inject_net_into_fs(), the source is as following. def _inject_net_into_fs(net, fs, execute=None): netfile = os.path.join(os.path.join(os.path.join( fs, 'etc'), 'network'), 'interfaces') yield execute('sudo tee %s' % netfile, net) Before tee command is executed, the folder was not created. So the error message "No such file or directory" was thrown. Therefore, it will be needed to create folder before tee.
