Hello dear users,<br>
<br>
Today, 03/09/2013, coredumb[IRC] ( a valued Rudder community member
) notified us that one of our nightly builds was broken:<br>
A development version of our rudder-agent package nukes the
/opt/rudder and /var/rudder directories upon removal or upgrade.<br>
<br>
This only affects all nightly builds created between the 27/08/2013
and the 03/09/2013.<br>
<br>
If you are impacted, please don't worry, there is a solution:<br>
<br>
On Debian / Ubuntu:<br>
<br>
* Execute 'sed "s%rm -rf \/.*/rudder%# DISABLED%g"
/var/lib/dpkg/info/rudder-agent.postrm' and the problem is fixed.<br>
<br>
On RHEL / SLES / CentOS:<br>
<br>
First, backup your Rudder agent's core files:<br>
<br>
* uuid.hive file: cp /opt/rudder/etc/uuid.hive /tmp/uuid.hive<br>
* keys: cp -a /var/rudder/cfengine-community/ppkeys /tmp/ppkeys<br>
<br>
Remove the broken package safely and reinstall it from the latest
nightlies using your package manager:<br>
<br>
* rpm -e --noscripts --nodeps rudder-agent<br>
* zypper/yum install rudder-agent<br>
<br>
Then, restore uuid.hive and the keys:<br>
<br>
* cp /tmp/uuid.hive /opt/rudder/etc/uuid.hive<br>
* cp -a /tmp/ppkeys/* /var/rudder/cfengine-community/ppkeys/<br>
<br>
Start a CFEngine agent run to make sure things work properly and
you're good to go!<br>
<br>
* /var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent -KI<br>
<br>
<br>
We are very sorry for the inconvenience and you will be pleased to
know that we have taken steps to ensure this will not happen again.<br>
<br>
We would like to thank coredumb again for reporting the issue. (
well done ! )<br>
<br>

feel free to send an e-mail back on this mailing list (
