Package: cfengine3 Version: 3.15.2-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
First, thank you for packaging cfengine 3.15.2. Unfortunately, the new cfengine 3.15.2 package in sid/unstable is broken and non-functional. What led up to the situation? Upgrading from cfengine 3.12.1 to 3.15.2. Fresh installs of 3.15.2 also suffer from the problem. Under an installation of Debian's cfengine 3.12.1, bootstrapping a cfengine node works correctly, and cf-promises has variables like "default:sys.cf_agent" defined. This same behavior is seen using the cfengine community edition packages from https://cfengine.com/product/community/ Here is example output from Debian's cfengine 3.12.1: # cf-promises --show-vars | grep sys.cf_ ... default:sys.cf_agent \"/var/lib/cfengine3/bin/cf-agent\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_check \"/var/lib/cfengine3/bin/cf-check\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_execd \"/var/lib/cfengine3/bin/cf-execd\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_key \"/var/lib/cfengine3/bin/cf-key\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_monitord \"/var/lib/cfengine3/bin/cf-monitord\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_net \"/var/lib/cfengine3/bin/cf-net\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_promises \"/var/lib/cfengine3/bin/cf-promises\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_runagent \"/var/lib/cfengine3/bin/cf-runagent\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_serverd \"/var/lib/cfengine3/bin/cf-serverd\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_twin \"/var/lib/cfengine3/bin/cf-agent\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_upgrade \"/var/lib/cfengine3/bin/cf-upgrade\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_version 3.12.1 inventory,source=agent,attribute_name=CFEngine version default:sys.cf_version_major 3 source=agent default:sys.cf_version_minor 12 source=agent default:sys.cf_version_patch 1 source=agent Here is example output from CFEngine Community edition 3.15.2: # cf-promises --show-vars | grep sys.cf_ ... default:sys.cf_agent \"/var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_check \"/var/cfengine/bin/cf-check\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_execd \"/var/cfengine/bin/cf-execd\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_key \"/var/cfengine/bin/cf-key\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_monitord \"/var/cfengine/bin/cf-monitord\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_net \"/var/cfengine/bin/cf-net\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_promises \"/var/cfengine/bin/cf-promises\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_runagent \"/var/cfengine/bin/cf-runagent\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_serverd \"/var/cfengine/bin/cf-serverd\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_twin \"/var/cfengine/bin/cf-agent\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_upgrade \"/var/cfengine/bin/cf-upgrade\" cfe_internal,source=agent default:sys.cf_version 3.15.2 inventory,source=agent,attribute_name=CFEngine version default:sys.cf_version_major 3 source=agent default:sys.cf_version_minor 15 source=agent default:sys.cf_version_patch 2 source=agent default:sys.cf_version_release 1 source=agent The new Debian package for cfengine 3.15.2 does not produce similar output. It is missing all of the variables "sys.cf_agent" through "sys.cf_upgade" (all of the vars that have an executable path associated with them). # cf-promises --show-vars | grep sys.cf_ ... default:sys.cf_version 3.15.2 inventory,source=agent,attribute_name=CFEngine version default:sys.cf_version_major 3 source=agent default:sys.cf_version_minor 15 source=agent default:sys.cf_version_patch 2 source=agent default:sys.cf_version_release 1 source=agent As a result, bootstraping failes with error messages about non-existent executable files. # cf-agent --bootstrap X.X.X.X error: cf-promises needs to be installed in /usr/bin for pre-validation of full configuration error: Proposed executable file '$(sys.cf_agent)' doesn't exist error: '$(sys.cf_agent) -f /var/lib/cfengine3/inputs/update.cf --define bootstrap_mode' promises to be executable but isn't error: Method 'failsafe_cfe_internal_call_update' failed in some repairs error: Proposed executable file '$(sys.cf_agent)' doesn't exist error: '$(sys.cf_agent) --define bootstrap_mode' promises to be executable but isn't error: Method 'failsafe_cfe_internal_trigger_policy' failed in some repairs R: Bootstrapping from host 'X.X.X.X' via built-in policy '/var/lib/cfengine3/inputs/failsafe.cf' R: This host assumes the role of policy server R: Updated local policy from policy server R: Initial run of the policy failed R: Restarted systemd unit cfengine3 error: Bootstrapping failed, cf-execd is not running As a result of this, the new Debian cfengine 3.15.2 package never actually applies any of the configured policies, failing each time with error messages that '$(sys.cf_agent)' doesn't exist. I successfully installed an configured the CFEngine community edition 3.15.2 deb package from the CFEngine website, so it is an issue with the new Debian package in unstable and not with the upstream cfengine 3.15.2 source code. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.6.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages cfengine3 depends on: ii e2fsprogs 1.45.6-1 ii libacl1 2.2.53-8 ii libc6 2.30-8 ii liblmdb0 0.9.24-1 ii libpam0g 1.3.1-5 ii libpcre3 2:8.39-13 ii libpromises3 3.15.2-2 ii libssl1.1 1.1.1g-1 ii libvirt0 6.0.0-7 ii libxml2 2.9.10+dfsg-5+b1 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 Versions of packages cfengine3 recommends: pn python <none> cfengine3 suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/cfengine3 changed: RUN_CFMONITORD=1 RUN_CFSERVERD=1 RUN_CFEXECD=1 CFMONITORD_ARGS="" CFSERVERD_ARGS="" CFEXECD_ARGS="" -- no debconf information
