Title: Message Title

Sean Griffin created an issue   Puppet / PUP-7146 on arista-4-i386: File resource drift correction fails on file named with utf-8 characters Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/01/31 9:02 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Sean Griffin This bug is similar to PUP-6983, except that 1. In this case the system is arista-4-i386 and 2. Setting the LANG environment variable to "en_US.UTF-8" does not fix the problem as it did in the Ubuntu-16 case. To reproduce: 1. apply this manifest: -bash-4.1# cat manifest file { "/tmp/file_utf8_title_€" : ensure => file, mode => "0644", content => "This is the file content. ", } -bash-4.1# puppet apply manifest Notice: Compiled catalog for ha6j7myfrqmszju.delivery.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 0.10 seconds Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/file_utf8_title_€]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}c7ce4aaf931ef61f00fbe5d7f102a91d' Notice: Applied catalog in 0.05 seconds -bash-4.1# echo $? 0 -bash-4.1# ls file_utf8_title_??? manifest The shell does not properly display the file name. This is not the bug. 2. Observe the target file is created with the desired content: -bash-4.1# cat file_utf8_title_€ This is the file content. -bash-4.1# 3. Rewrite the file -bash-4.1# > file_utf8_title_€ -bash-4.1# cat file_utf8_title_€ -bash-4.1# 4. Apply the manifest again to correct the file (drift). Observe the error message, examine the file. -bash-4.1# puppet apply manifest Notice: Compiled catalog for ha6j7myfrqmszju.delivery.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 0.10 seconds Error: Could not back up /tmp/file_utf8_title_€: U+20AC from UTF-8 to US-ASCII Error: Could not back up /tmp/file_utf8_title_€: U+20AC from UTF-8 to US-ASCII Error: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/file_utf8_title_€]/content: change from {md5}d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e to {md5}c7ce4aaf931ef61f00fbe5d7f102a91d failed: Could not back up /tmp/file_utf8_title_€: U+20AC from UTF-8 to US-ASCII Notice: Applied catalog in 0.06 seconds -bash-4.1# cat file_utf8_title_€ -bash-4.1# This problem is not fixed by setting the environment variable LANG to "en_US.UTF-8" as it was in the Ubuntu-16 case. Setting LANG to "POSIX" also did not help.
