Issue #7680 has been updated by Russ Allbery.
For Puppet folks, note that this bug is currently causing us a lot of heartburn in Debian because, at present, we'd be releasing a new version with this bug and that would potentially break a lot of manifests out in the wild where people are using symlinks in their manifests. We've confirmed that this bug definitely affects (consistently) the version of Puppet currently in Debian (2.7.18). A fix that we could pull up to the Debian packages would be greatly appreciated and would help a lot of people. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7680: Checksum missmatch when copying followed symlinks https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7680#change-86874 Author: Mikael Svantesson Status: Code Insufficient Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: file Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.6.8 Keywords: symlink file Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1476 When trying to copy a file (using a symlink), Puppet does not calculate the correct checksum for the temporary file.
