Issue #887 has been updated by Kjetil Torgrim Homme. Category changed from Solaris to exec
I was surprised that evalutation of a provider doesn't stop after a failing confine, but since it doesn't, this bug actually affects all operatingsystems. there is a very simple fix: since /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin on Solaris, use the full path "/bin/cat". (a colleague had the exact same problem as the original reporter just now :-) ---------------------------------------- Bug #887: Environment variable leak in blastwave provider http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/887 Author: Francois Deppierraz Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: exec Target version: unplanned Patch: None Affected version: 0.24.8 Keywords: Branch: In provider/package/blastwave.rb: <pre> # This is so stupid, but then, so is blastwave. ENV[[PAGER]] = "/usr/bin/cat" </pre> This environment variable leaks in all other types (such as exec). This could lead to strange behaviours of script launched by an exec because under some OS /usr/bin/cat does not exist. This problem appeared during an automated Vmware Workstation installation, the vmware-install.pl script failed when run with PAGER=/usr/bin/cat. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
