I see this same behaviour on two of my Ubuntu machines (one a VM, one a
physical host). Given that they both report the chgrp error on different
files, my initial suspicion is that the issue is related to the number
of packages installed or the number of files/directories in /etc.
root@hex:/etc# etckeeper init
chgrp: missing operand after `./X11/app-defaults'
Try `chgrp --help' for more information.
root@sek:/etc# etckeeper init
chown: missing operand after `./smokeping/smokeping_secrets'
Try `chown --help' for more information.
However, a third (much more recently-installed) Ubuntu VM ran `etckeeper
init` quite happily with no errors.
Responses to the details requested above:
root@sek:/etc# cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=quantal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.10"
root@hex:/etc# cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=quantal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.10"
root@sek:/etc# dpkg -l | grep etckeeper
ii etckeeper 0.61ubuntu2
all store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs
root@hex:/etc# dpkg -l | grep etckeeper
ii etckeeper 0.61ubuntu2
all store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs
$LANG on both machines is en_GB.UTF-8.
As for the machine on which etckeeper *IS* working, these are the
details given for the same commands as above:
root@hat:/etc# cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=quantal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.10"
root@hat:/etc# dpkg -l | grep etckeeper
ii etckeeper 0.61ubuntu2
all store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs
$LANG is also en_GB.UTF-8.
Will run the apport-collect commands now...
