If you don't have the bandwidth I'm happy to take it on. In the meantime, if you could paste a sample manifest that triggers this issue into the ticket that will help tremendously. I was about to cook up something that reproduces the issue, but it might not actually be the same problem you're running into. Thanks, -Jeff ---------------------------------------- Bug #11988: Augeas provider can clobber symlinks https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11988 Author: Nathan Huff Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Dominic Cleal Category: augeas Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.9 Keywords: augeas Branch: If the augeas resource is fed a symlink as the target file and it makes changes it will overwrite it with a regular file. It creates and .augnew file and just blindly moves it into place without checking if the target file was a symlink. The provider should either check whether the target was a symlink and dereference it or it should rerun augeas in overwrite mode since augeas does take care to dereference if necessary. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
