I wonder why the "install wamerican" didn't go into the script? It should at least get the same options as in the script to make sure it doesn't break the install.

Maybe we should make our own mirror of Ubuntu so that we don't have to depend on a massive company with billions of users to get it right for us? :o)

I didn't see the issue recently. Moreover, Brett asked me to report Azure issues to https://github.com/python/core-workflow/ instead. So I close this issue.
