The reason is that bzr, the default VCS for etckeeper in Ubuntu, now refuses to commit changes before a name and email address has been configured. This used to work, but now fail. A fix would be for etckeeper to run bzr whoami 'Enoch Root r...@hostname' or something similar to get the configuration to show up in ~root/.bazaar/bazaar.conf when initializing the repository.

[Bug 661024] Re: etckeeper fail to work when installed during installation
I've just upgraded a server from Lucid to Maverick and been hit by this bug. From the comments above, I presume this has happened because I did the upgrade over ssh and not directly at a terminal. I'll run bzr whoami as Petter suggests and see what happens with tonight's cron job. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to etckeeper in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661024 Title: etckeeper fail to work when installed during installation -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Fixing this in Maverick involves respinning an install media, since etckeeper at install-time will be pulled from the CD, so I don't think that will happen... ** Changed in: etckeeper (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = In Progress ** Changed in: etckeeper (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = Thierry Carrez (ttx) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to etckeeper in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661024 Title: etckeeper fail to work when installed during installation -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 661024] Re: etckeeper fail to work when installed during installation
Analysis: In the case of an early install, the logic to determine USER in /etc/etckeeper/commit.d/50vcs-commit fails to yield a valid USER, so EMAIL is not set when bzr commit is called (no name being stored in bzr whoami, this fails) Solution would be to do something like: ORIG_USER=$USER USER= ... if [ -n $USER ]; then export EMAIL=$USER $u...@$hostname else bzr whoami || export EMAIL=$ORIG_USER $orig_u...@$hostname fi This avoids setting bzr whoami artificially at install-time, still prefers stored creds if any are present, but defaulting to something valid rather than failing in the corner case of this bug. Reducing priority since this doesn't affect post-install installations of etckeeper. i'll fix this if nobody beats me to it. ** Changed in: etckeeper (Ubuntu) Importance: High = Medium ** Changed in: etckeeper (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Triaged -- etckeeper fail to work when installed during installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to etckeeper in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
