Public bug reported: $ LANG=C lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04
$ LANG=C apt-cache policy rancid rancid: Installed: 3.3.0-1 Candidate: 3.3.0-1 Version table: *** 3.3.0-1 500 500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status The backup of switches HP are based on the hlogin and hrancid scripts. The hlogin expect plugin fails to launch commands in the HP switch. It only sends the "no page" command (line 552 of hlogin script), it waits in the expect sentence until the timeout is reached. This has been already solved in the upstream 3.5.1 version. According to the Changelog of the project several bug/improvements have been applied to hlogin script since the 3.3.0 version: 3.5.0: hlogin: when refactoring prompt, eat full lines before looking for the prompt 3.5.1: hlogin: missed an ssh -c option among the clean-up - Mark Felder I can confirm that by replacing the hlogin script provided by the package with the hlogin of version 3.5.1, the backup of HP switches works again.
