Peter ---------------------------------------- Bug #16167: "warning: Cannot manage ownership unless running as root" - but only on 2nd and later invocations... https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16167#change-70232 Author: Peter Valdemar Mørch Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: eric sorenson Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.2 Keywords: Branch: I am in fact intentionally running as non-root. All files of interest are owned by the same user. If I use puppet to copy a source -> destination, it works fine the first time. Delete the destination and try again => get a warning. Delete the destination *and ~/.puppet* and try again => all is fine again. Reproduction recipe: $ rm -rf /tmp/source /tmp/destination ~/.puppet/ $ touch /tmp/source # First time no warning $ puppet -e 'file { "/tmp/destination": ensure => present, source => "/tmp/source" }' notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/destination]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' $ rm /tmp/destination # Why do I get a warning here $ puppet -e 'file { "/tmp/destination": ensure => present, source => "/tmp/source" }' warning: Cannot manage ownership unless running as root notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/destination]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' # Actually only necessary to delete ~/.puppet/var/state/state.yaml $ rm -rf /tmp/destination ~/.puppet/ # But not here $ puppet -e 'file { "/tmp/destination": ensure => present, source => "/tmp/source" }' notice: /Stage[main]//File[/tmp/destination]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' Version information: Debian Squeeze $ puppet --version 2.6.2 $ dpkg-query -W | grep puppet puppet 2.6.2-5+squeeze6 puppet-common 2.6.2-5+squeeze6 I haven't actually tried it on newer versions of puppet (if I do then I'll update the bug), but regardless - it seems to be valid for 2.6.2 at least. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
