Since a few days, finally getting around to looking at it, the machines have been complaining about pkgsync errors.
Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2016 06:26:08 +0000 (GMT) From: Cron Daemon <r...@mgt.savannah.gnu.org> To: r...@mgt.savannah.gnu.org Subject: [Savannah-reports-private] Cron <root@mgt> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) /etc/cron.daily/nightly-pkgsync: Error: Missing files in /etc/pkgsync. Aborting. Please see /usr/share/doc/pkgsync/README.Debian for information on configuring pkgsync. I grep around and find that it was recently installed. mgt: /var/log/dpkg.log-20160701.gz:2016-06-24 15:32:40 install pkgsync <none> 1.22 internal: /var/log/dpkg.log.1:2016-06-24 15:32:48 install pkgsync <none> 1.22 vcs: /var/log/dpkg.log-20160701.gz:2016-06-24 15:32:26 install pkgsync <none> 1.22 frontend: /var/log/dpkg.log-20160625:2016-06-24 15:32:13 install pkgsync <なし> 1.22 mgt0: /var/log/dpkg.log.2.gz:2016-06-24 11:33:33 install pkgsync:all <none> 1.23 internal0: /var/log/dpkg.log.2.gz:2016-06-24 11:33:43 install pkgsync:all <none> 1.23 frontend0: /var/log/dpkg.log.2.gz:2016-06-24 11:33:54 install pkgsync:all <none> 1.23 I am not wanting to be conflicting with other people on this. But I would like to quiet down the errors. The pkgsync tool looks like a fine tool for identical machines in a cluster. But for Savannah's machines where every system is unique it seems less useful. And it isn't configured on them which produces the daily errors from cron from the cron.daily runs. If anyone is actually using this pkgsync package please let's talk. Bob
