Package: puppet
Version: 3.7.2-4
Severity: important
Hi,
When testing my puppet infrastructure with Debian jessie puppet 3.7 and a UTF-8
locale, I noticed a regression vs debian wheezy concerning users with non-ASCII
realnames.
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
...
$ puppet -V
3.7.2
$ ruby --version
ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
Adding a new user, or changing a pure-ASCII comment to a non-ASCII comment,
works fine:
$ getent passwd terom
terom:x:1001:100:Tero:/home/terom:/bin/bash
$ sudo LANG=C.UTF-8 puppet resource user terom ensure=present
comment=Tëro
Notice: /User[terom]/comment: comment changed 'Tero' to 'Tëro'
user { 'terom':
ensure => 'present',
comment => 'Tëro',
}
However, user resources with non-ASCII real names in the /etc/passwd comment
field trigger encoding-related errors and fail to apply:
$ sudo LANG=C.UTF-8 puppet resource user terom ensure=present
comment=Tëro
Error: Could not convert change 'comment' to string: incompatible
character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT
Error: Could not convert change 'comment' to string: incompatible
character encodings: UTF-8 and ASCII-8BIT
Error: /User[terom]: Could not evaluate: Puppet::Util::Log requires a
message
user { 'terom':
ensure => 'present',
comment => 'Tëro',
}
The bug seems closely related to the upstream bug #22703, which should have
been fixed in Puppet 3.4?
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22703
The workaround is to use a non-UTF-8 locale.
$ sudo LANG=C puppet resource user terom ensure=present comment=Tëro
user { 'terom':
ensure => 'present',
comment => 'Tëro',
}
This also happens with the upstream puppet 3.7.5 on Debian jessie:
$ dpkg -l puppet

However, the upstream 3.7.5 on debian wheezy works fine:
