Description

After installing rudder-agent on ubuntu, rudder-agent is started.
It tries to run cf-serverd and gives this error :

rudder-agent5202: [INFO] Using /etc/default/rudder-agent for configuration
rudder-agent5205: [INFO] Using /var/rudder/cfengine-community for CFEngine workdir

And cf-serverd is not started.

This is due to the initial promises containing:

[...]
 77    # List here the IP masks that we grant access to on the server
 78 
 79     policy_server::
 80       "acl" slist => {
 81       '%%POLICY_SERVER_ALLOWED_NETWORKS%%'
 82     };
[...]

This prevent cf-serverd to start since CFEngine 3.6.

Hmmm... i'm not so sure about the reason. It could be due to the absence of /var/rudder/cfengine-community/policy_server.dat during the installation, too.

That's it and only on CFEngine 3.6:

And in the postinst of rudder-agent package, it seems that rudder-agent is started.... even though policy_server.dat does not exist.

It seems to happens during a migration of rudder-agent, at the start of rudder-agent service or if manually launch cf-serverd or cf-agent.
What should we do ?
Add an abortclass if the file does not exist ?
Prevent rudder-agent service to restart at an upgrade if the file does not exist ?

What's your opinion, Jon ?
