[rudder-users] apt_detected_distro limitations

[Rob Pomeroy]

I may have spoken too soon. My policy update is now failing.

Policy update process was stopped due to an error:

⇨ Policy update error for process '134' at 2017-09-20 17:11:04

⇨ Cannot write configuration node

⇨ Exit code=1 for hook:
'/opt/rudder/etc/hooks.d/policy-generation-node-ready/10-cf-promise-check'.
stdout: stderr:

Those errors are repeated a few dozen times. This error doesn't mean
anything to me, but in case it's relevant, I have not created any custom
techniques.
