Description

After upgrading rudder-agent through rudder-agent, the dpkg state is not correct:

# dpkg -l |grep rudd
iF  rudder-agent                         2.6.2-precise0               Configuration management and audit tool - agent

Looking into the rudder-agent output, shows this:

Q:env DEBIAN_FRONTEND= ...:cp: cannot create regular file `/var/rudder/cfengine-community/bin/cf-agent': Text file busy

Proposal:

Would it be a good idea to don't upgrade rudder-agent with the standard technique package management techniques, but as an option in rudder itself? As in: an "upgrade rudder agents" button somewhere, with tick boxes to in-/exclude nodes.

Like I said in #3667, Updating nodes to the same version of Rudder server can be very painful. As you suggest we should really automate this process.

I don't know yet if this should be by using Rules (maybe if the server is not using the same version of cfengine, that will cause problems.) Or may be we could use a one time process launched from the webapp (or API) to update node
