Description

Getting this on a Rudder 5.0 node on 4.3 master:

root@ubu-hg:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# cat *

Managed by Rudder, edit with care ###
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ${apt_detected_distro} universe multiverse

breaks updates and OS install.

This is an LTS ubuntu that came out ages ago, no idea what is going wrong.

root@ubu-hg:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="16.04.3 LTS (Xenial Xerus)"

since I see that there's a preexisting issue for the same problem a few years back... please could you consider a cleaner solution, that validates the generated url before writing it.

I know it's just Ubuntu, but still :)

This has been corrected in a newer version of the technique.
It should work if you upgrade it.

Could you share the content of the directory (and files in it) "/var/rudder/cfengine-community/inputs/aptPackageManagerSettings" on the node? (privately if needed, or after anonymisation)?

Thanks

Florian, we are not able to reproduce without the asked information. Does that problem still occures?

how about you add any validation of the generated line instead?
if it generates a line with an unrendered variable it will always be incorrect.

it's best to fix the main issue instead of the single thing that triggered it.

You are totally right, we should validate that the string apt_autodetect is defined before editing the file
This would be the perfect chance to rewrite this technique to have it compliant with our coding guideline
