Bug#596351: ohai fails with: to_json: source sequence is illegal/malformed
Hi everybody,
AFAICT ohai works fine nowadays:
$ getent passwd 1000
alexander:x:1000:1000:Alexander' Kurtz£:/home/alexander:/bin/bash
$ ohai
{
[...]
platform: debian
}
$
Chris Butler suggested[1] that this commit to ruby-json might be a fix:
https://github.com/flori/json/commit/dd06e48aa414674f52e81f9cdc7836b6456c04f8
This commit seems to be included in the latest version of ruby-json:
$ grep --recursive --context=3 'def benchmark_generator_ascii'
ruby-json-1.5.3/
ruby-json-1.5.3/benchmarks/generator2_benchmark.rb-
ruby-json-1.5.3/benchmarks/generator2_benchmark.rb- alias
reset_benchmark_generator_pretty generic_reset_method
ruby-json-1.5.3/benchmarks/generator2_benchmark.rb-
ruby-json-1.5.3/benchmarks/generator2_benchmark.rb: def
benchmark_generator_ascii
ruby-json-1.5.3/benchmarks/generator2_benchmark.rb-@result =
JSON.generate(@big, :ascii_only = true)
ruby-json-1.5.3/benchmarks/generator2_benchmark.rb- end
ruby-json-1.5.3/benchmarks/generator2_benchmark.rb-

ruby-json-1.5.3/benchmarks/generator_benchmark.rb- end
ruby-json-1.5.3/benchmarks/generator_benchmark.rb-
$
Unless somebody tells me otherwise, I'm going to reassign this bug to
ruby-json and close it with the appropriate version in a few days.
Best regards

May I ask you the problem is still present when you run “LANG=C LC_ALL=C ohai”? I guess the results of “ohai -ldebug” could also be useful to diagnose the issue. Good catch, it is indeed the case. you can reproduce this bug by editing /etc/passwd, adding some accented letter to some user's full name, :set fileencoding=latin1 and save. Then ohai will indeed fail like that.
