Hello, I have noticed that pkg_add will behave differently when being executed from a script when compared to running it manually on the command line.
This is creating problems for the ansible openbsd_pkg module. This is what I see, first running manually which is fine: === # pkg_add nmap quirks-2.270 signed on 2016-11-18T14:37:13Z nmap-7.30: ok # pkg_add nmap quirks-2.270 signed on 2016-11-18T14:37:13Z # === Deleting nmap again to start over: === # pkg_delete nmap nmap-7.30: ok Read shared items: ok === Now executing pkg_add from python: === # ./run_pkg_add.py quirks-2.270 signed on 2016-11-18T14:37:13Z nmap-7.30: ok # ./run_pkg_add.py quirks-2.270 signed on 2016-11-18T14:37:13Z Error from http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/nmap-7.30.tgz signify: write to stdout: Broken pipe # === Note that the first run is successfull, while the second run throws a broken pipe error from signify. The python code: === #!/usr/bin/env python import shlex import subprocess command = "pkg_add nmap" args = shlex.split(command); subprocess.call(args) === This is python-2.7.12p1. I have been doing some print-debugging in /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/PackageRepository.pm trying to figure out what is going on, but so far no luck. -- Patrik Lundin
