Package: fai-client
Version: 6.4.3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi!
classes containing a dash will result in package_config files for that class
not being read.
This causes fai to ignore hostname-specific package config files when hostname
contains a dash.
example:
--snip--
List of all classes: DEFAULT AMD64 DEBIAN pc-test LAST
...
install_packages: reading config files from directory
/var/lib/fai/config/package_config
install_packages: read config file DEBIAN
install_packages: executing apt-get clean
--snip--
expected behavior:
--snip--
List of all classes: DEFAULT AMD64 DEBIAN pc-test LAST
...
install_packages: reading config files from directory
/var/lib/fai/config/package_config
install_packages: read config file DEBIAN
install_packages: read config file pc-test
install_packages: executing apt-get clean
--snip--
See attached patch to fix the bug.
The previously used grep command alters data in @classes .
Thus the filename is changed to "pcÖtest" and is not read, since it does not
exist.
Please provide a fixed version of fai-client for trixie.
Thanks!
Best regards
Christian
