[Bug 1039627] Re: etckeeper init with git gives error
Hi all, Found a work-around for this issue (I was seeing the same chgrp error messages) There was already a file /etc/.etckeeper I moved this to /etc/.etckeeper.old Then repeated the etckeeper init command and hey presto :-) -- 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/1039627 Title: etckeeper init with git gives error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/1039627/+subscriptions -- 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 1039627] Re: etckeeper init with git gives error
I see this same behaviour on two of my Ubuntu machines (one a VM, one a physical host). Given that they both report the chgrp error on different files, my initial suspicion is that the issue is related to the number of packages installed or the number of files/directories in /etc. root@hex:/etc# etckeeper init chgrp: missing operand after `./X11/app-defaults' Try `chgrp --help' for more information. root@sek:/etc# etckeeper init chown: missing operand after `./smokeping/smokeping_secrets' Try `chown --help' for more information. However, a third (much more recently-installed) Ubuntu VM ran `etckeeper init` quite happily with no errors. Responses to the details requested above: root@sek:/etc# cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=quantal DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=Ubuntu 12.10 root@hex:/etc# cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=quantal DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=Ubuntu 12.10 root@sek:/etc# dpkg -l | grep etckeeper ii etckeeper 0.61ubuntu2 all store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs root@hex:/etc# dpkg -l | grep etckeeper ii etckeeper 0.61ubuntu2 all store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs $LANG on both machines is en_GB.UTF-8. As for the machine on which etckeeper *IS* working, these are the details given for the same commands as above: root@hat:/etc# cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=quantal DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=Ubuntu 12.10 root@hat:/etc# dpkg -l | grep etckeeper ii etckeeper 0.61ubuntu2 all store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs $LANG is also en_GB.UTF-8.
