About provisioning of Azure IoT Edge 1.2

The following occurs in an Azure IoT Edge 1.2 environment:

If you install the moby, aziot-edge and aziot-identity-service packages only once in a clean environment, you will get "Could not retrieve device information" and provisioning will not succeed.

However, provisioning is successful by installing and launching the same aziot-edge package again.

Do you know the reason for this?

--- Envroiment
Debian 11 / VM / amd64
But , the same is true for Debian 10.

--- Execute Command

root@debian:~# dpkg -i aziot-edge_1.2.3-1_debian10_amd64.deb aziot-identity-service_1.2.2-1_debian10_amd64.deb
root@debian:~# iotedge config mp --force --connection-string '<REPLACE-CONNECTION-STRING>'
root@debian:~# iotedge config apply -c '/etc/aziot/config.toml'

root@debian:~# iotedge system status
System services:
aziot-edged Running
aziot-identityd Ready
aziot-keyd Ready
aziot-certd Ready
aziot-tpmd Ready

Use 'iotedge system logs' to check for non-fatal errors.
Use 'iotedge check' to diagnose connectivity and configuration issues.

    Hello @h-abe ,
    I noticed you are not using sudo in front of the commands. As mentioned in the How-to guide to verify successfull configuration.

    You need elevated privileges to run iotedge commands. Once you sign out of your machine and sign back in the first time after installing the IoT Edge runtime, your permissions are automatically updated. Until then, use sudo in front of the commands.

    Can you confirm if the same happens when you use sudo?

    Thanks

    Hello @António Sérgio Azevedo ,

    I tried to execute it using the sudo command in Debian in a clean environment.

    However, there is no change in the result of the first execution.

    --- Execute Command

    IMPORTANT: Please configure the device with provisioning information.

    Please create a new system configuration.

    You can quickly configure the device for manual provisioning with
    a connection string using: 

    sudo iotedge config mp --connection-string '...'

    For other provisioning options, copy the template file
    at /etc/aziot/config.toml.edge.template to /etc/aziot/config.toml,
    update it with your device information, then apply the configuration to
    the IoT Edge services with: 

    sudo iotedge config apply
