Description

WORAROUND

This error seems to only impact debian-based system.
If you are impacted by that error, you can correct by yourself without waiting for the next patch release being done to address it with the command:

sed -i -e 's/rsync --delete/rsync --delete --ignore-times/g' /opt/rudder/bin/rudder-upgrade

Then, execute again the post-upgrade script:

/opt/rudder/bin/rudder-upgrade

It should terminate without error

ORIGINAL REPORT

On the hub server, I'm getting an error when upgrading, though it seems to end correctly.

Hello Nicolas,

Thanks for reporting !

Can you look into /var/log/rudder/install for the log file about rudder-webapp update (it should be named rudder-webapp-<timestamp> ) if you got any error ? or even paste the whole content here!

So, we successfully reproduced that, and it's a bit puzzling:

There's a commit that fails for distributePolicy because it is empty. But it shouldn't:

  • Category set to System integration
  • Target version set to 6.2.4

To be more precise, the error in is in /opt/rudder/bin/rudder-upgrade (around line #288):

update_rudder_repository_from_system_directory /opt/rudder/share/techniques/system/distributePolicy/ techniques/system/distributePolicy/

and a cp actually correctly copy the file:

Actions #9

Updated by François ARMAND about 3 years ago

So, the problem is that our rsync compared only newer file, and for some obscure packaging reason, that file is seen as coming from 2017 - but it's the correct file. So the destination is more recent, and rsync doesn't check: we need to add option: --ignore-times:

The bug can happen in previous version of rudder upgrade script too.

Now that we have a documented workaround and that we understand that it only prevent the synchronisation of the most recent version of system technique, we can set it's criticity to minor.
