Package: facter
Version: 2.4.6-1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
Since upgrading a virtual-machine host from jessie to stretch I started
seeing this email every hour, when puppet ran:
To: root
From: root(Cron Daemon)
Cc:
Subject: Cron <root@smaug> /usr/bin/puppet agent --onetime ..
Command line is not complete. Try option "help"
I eventually tracked this output down to factor, as I could see it when
running `facter --debug`:
root@smaug ~ # facter --debug
Found no suitable resolves of 1 for ec2_metadata
..
value for macaddress_lo is still nil
value for ipaddress_master is still nil
value for ipaddress6_master is still nil
Command line is not complete. Try option "help"
value for netmask_master is still nil
value for ipaddress_skx_mail is still nil
Eventually I tracked this output down to the following function :
def self.get_bonding_master(interface)
(Which is present in /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter/util/ip.rb)
That runs:
ip link show $interface
On my host that works for most interfaces, but not for master:
root@smaug ~ # ip link show master
Command line is not complete. Try option "help"
To resolve the problem I updated the code of that function from:
ethbond = regex.match(%x{/sbin/ip link show '#{interface}'})
To:
ethbond = regex.match(%x{/sbin/ip link show dev '#{interface}'})
I'm not 100% sure this is a bug, but I think it probably is ..
