Traceback from a Postinstall

[[email protected]…]

This confuses me since the Postinstall is acutally commented out, but I get this:

[[email protected]:/fc/qlafc-linux-8.01.01-1-install]$ /usr/sbin/bcfg2 -q -n Failure in Verify for entry: <Postinstall name="/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --depmod --install uname -r"/> File /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Bcfg2/Client/Toolset.py, line 263, in VerifyEntry?

The problem was two-fold. I had misspelled PostInstall? (forgot the capital "i"). Then, when I commented out the line the XML parser got confused since there were now '--' in the comment. Replacing these with the HTML escaped representation, &#45;&#45;, fixed that problem. Obviously, it would be nice to include double dashes in comments. Double dashes in a non-commented out line pose no problem.

OK. It sounds like there is an issue with xml parseability as well, but I doubt there is much we can do about it other than documentation. I am going to close this one out.
