I can't seem to replicate this; can you provide some details on a minimal replication case? Thanks.

I can reproduce this issue if rename any file to <filename.genshi>. For example, please run "mv motd motd.genshi" and now "bcfg2-lint".

My best guess is that the file you've renamed to .genshi is not a valid Genshi template, so the file cannot be parsed. If that's so, you should see "Failed to load template: <filename>" somewhere in the startup messages when you run bcfg2-lint. Can you verify if that's the case? Thanks.

Turns out I was misunderstanding the problem; fixed in ​https://github.com/Bcfg2/bcfg2/commit/e3f871022b9cc4bb4916c23920c6621be8c33e7d

Thanks!
