A little background: I'm using puppet to manage the configurations of a group of linux vservers running Ubuntu Lucid. Ubuntu has switched to using upstart for their boot process; unfortunately there are some peculiar interactions with vservers which causes openssh to hang during upgrade, so I need to remove the upstart init script for openssh and revert back to the sysvrc script instead. Since this needs to happen before any openssh upgrade, I've tried putting the code that does this into a class that will be run first, like this:
class disable_upstart_for_sshd { file { '/etc/init/ssh.conf': ensure => absent } exec { '/usr/sbin/update-rc.d ssh defaults': creates => '/etc/rc3.d/S20ssh' } } stage { "pre": before => Stage[main] } class { disable_upstart_for_sshd': stage => pre; } Now, if /etc/init/ssh.conf exists, puppet will correctly remove it and the run will complete without error, but on the *next* and all subsequent puppet runs I get a long dependency cycle error. If /etc/init/ssh.conf does not exist, I get no errors (on multiple runs). If I remove the run stage code, I get no errors (on multiple runs). There are no explicit references to /etc/init/ssh.conf in any other modules (it's owned by the openssh-server package). So, is this a bug? -- Dan Urist dur...@ucar.edu 303-497-2459 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
