Bug ID: 290927
Summary: etcupdate(8) failing to update etc
Product: Base System
Version: 15.0-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
After transitioning from stable/14 to stable/15 mergemaster was replaced by
etcupdate. It had run successfully a few times, but now it's complaining each
run in the same way on the same file:
# etcupdate -B
M /etc/blacklistd.conf
PANIC: merge failed with status 2
The file is fine:
# ll -o /etc/blacklistd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel uarch 642 Nov 10 14:53 /etc/blacklistd.conf
Removing it doesn't help. Should I deal with the files inside /var/db/etcupdate
to push it forward? On the other hand, it looks like etcpudate did the job
fine, and it's complaining only on exit.
I believe it's worth reporting, since some people want etcupdate to be working
flawlessly.
BTW, mergermaster(8) never had such problems.
Let me also cite our former committer, since I value his advice highly:
20:34 < dillon> ha. The first thing I did when I started the DragonFly project
was completely scrap all the 3-way merge junk that turns perfectly working
machines into flaming disasters
