Despite we were not using OMAPI our 1.6.x /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template
was having the declaration below. After migrating to2.0, the
/etc/cobbler/dhcp.template was still having this declaration (my fault I
should have removed it):
#if $omapi_enabled
omapi-port $omapi_port;
#end if
Then cobbler sync failed with a cheetah template instantiation error.
