Just a quick note to say that the automatic package sync has built v2.2.8 for jaunty: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/i386/cfengine2/2.2.8-1 This should fix this and bug #278092: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cfengine2/+bug/278092 -- Test for installed packages in cfengine is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232450 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 232450] Re: Test for installed packages in cfengine is broken
If the package maintainer would simply pull v2.2.8 from upstream, life would be much easier in Ubuntuland for all of us cfengine users. And remember, one cfengine user usually equates to dozens or hundreds of computers, so this bug is impacting quite a lot of systems. -- Test for installed packages in cfengine is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232450 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I do understand though, that this might have to go into backports if it's not a security issue. I'll check when I get a chance if this has been requested yet.

[Bug 232450] Re: Test for installed packages in cfengine is broken
This bug hasn't even been triaged..I don't think that anyone in the "official channels" is even taking note, after all, the package is in "universe" only :( Maybe the best thing to do is backporting it, and offering the backport for the hardy-backports repository. -- Test for installed packages in cfengine is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232450 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Add me to the list of those bitten by this on Hardy. I was about to try backporting 2.2.7 from Intrepid, but figured I would give the official channels a couple days to sort it out first. -- Test for installed packages in cfengine is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232450 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Any chance that the version of cfengine2 will be updated for Hardy?

This is supposed to be fixed in all versions>2.2.3-1, and the latest stable release for cfengine is 2.2.7: can this package be updated? -- Test for installed packages in cfengine is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/232450 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 232450] Re: Test for installed packages in cfengine is broken
The issue is discussed in https://cfengine.org/pipermail/help-
cfengine/2008-February/002960.html
The conclusion apparently was/is, that Debian changed the command to execute.
Quoting from
the linked post:
START QUOTE
Here's an excerpt from the Debian Etch
(backports) patch [2] against cfengine:
@@ -753,7 +753,7 @@
}
/* check what version is installed on the system (if any) */
-snprintf (VBUFF, CF_BUFSIZE, "/usr/bin/apt-cache policy %s", package);
+snprintf (VBUFF, CF_BUFSIZE, "LANG=C /usr/bin/apt-cache policy %s",
package);
if ((pp = cfpopen (VBUFF, "r")) == NULL)
{
So, what has been done here is to change the command line from
something simple that popen can handle, to having a environmental var
defined, but the author of this distro patch has *not* changed the
following cfpopen line to cfpopen_sh to match his change directly above.
END QUOTE
S, to fix the problem, apparently the cfpopen needs to be changed to
a cfpopen_sh, such that the shell is invoked to handle the LANG=C

[Bug 232450] Re: Test for installed packages in cfengine is broken
No, the code is doing something quite stupid, as I found out running it under
strace
(strace -f -o cfengine.log cfagent --verbose --no-splay). You can see the
following in the log:
28715 execve("LANG=C", ["LANG=C", "/usr/bin/apt-cache", "policy", "arpwatch"],
[/* 17 vars */]
28639 _llseek(3, 0,
28715 <... execve resumed> )= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
28639 <... _llseek resumed> 0xbfaabcd0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
28715 write(1, "cfengine:hspc05: Couldn\'t run LA"..., 37
That means, rather than executing "/usr/bin/apt-cache", it executes "LANG=C"
with the
argv[] array ["LANG=C", "/usr/bin/apt-cache", "policy", "arpwatch"]. Something
is
VERY WRONG with that code.

[Bug 232450] Re: Test for installed packages in cfengine is broken
Well, not true:
debian::
# if version is less than 4.2.4, then upgrade
ntp pkgmgr=${pkg_mgr} version=4.2.4 cmp=lt elsedefine=needs_ntp
...
cfagent -qv
Package: ntp
Something impossible happened... ('grep' exited abnormally).
And the C code is correct:
while (!feof (pp))
{
*VBUFF = '\0';
ReadLine (VBUFF, CF_BUFSIZE, pp);
if (*VBUFF != '\0')
{
if (sscanf (VBUFF, " Installed: %s", tmpBUFF) > 0)
{
AppendItem (&evrlist, tmpBUFF, "");
}
}
}
if (cfpclose (pp) != 0)
{
Verbose ("Something impossible happened... ('grep' exited abnormally).\n");
DeleteItemList (evrlist);
return 0;
}
That's on Hardy... Perhaps I'm not doing something correctly, but it
works fine for other OSes (CentOS).
