Description

Different than #1116 I am getting this on each run: 

notice: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/in_colo.rb]/checksum: checksum changed '{md5}e7c006e967e92d67ba86d6529ad20409' to '{md5}0a9f5d61636b784409ffddd383da468a'

The fact did not change recently, but it did change a few days ago. I get that line every time the client runs, with the same MD5 sums.

I dont know if its related, but I am also seeing non-fact resources change every time as well, such as this Sshkey resource: 

notice: //Node[albatross]/ssh_server/ssh_client/Sshkey[cassowary.riseup.net]/key: key changed 'ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1fyc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAqF/lsrxDUpjQfy2IEqaes3lPfFkEcQnqlra3K13PcI6DRZOpEnklpzBC8h37aCZkuxfw/SXyydx98ecF5uLDsbbPrOjuKSkf+OFX7dFJT659XV992FizsStHa2DdVqIa36mF9Zoe2VHaHv5/+O4QbFgNcPbyZTFAnfS5o2II6K8= root@buffy' to 'AABBCAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAqF/lsrxDUpjQfy2IEqaes3lPfFkEcQnqlr3hK13P1cI6DRZfOpEnklapzBC8h37aCZkuxfw/SXyydx98ecF5uLDsbbPrOjuKSkf+OFX7dFJT659XV992FizsStHa2DdVqIa36mF9Zoe2VHaHv5/+O4QbFgNcPbyZTFAnfS5o2II6K8='

This is happening with the 0.24.x branch

The above is {md5}->{md5}, but it looks like I am also seeing {mtime}->{mtime}:

that Sshkey resource looks like it actually *did* change. Can you confirm on the client end?

Ignore the Sshkey resource, it seems like that was coming from a system that had two puppet instances running (one older version of puppet, one HEAD). Once I corrected that, the Sshkey resource stopped changing. This also stopped the {mtime}->{mtime} issue (as far as I can tell).

The actual bug here is that the {md5}->{md5} keeps happening. Its not happening on all nodes. The actual md5sum of the file on a node that is doing this on each run is the one on the right hand side of this message: 

notice: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/in_colo.rb]/checksum: checksum changed '{md5}e7c006e967e92d67ba86d6529ad20409' to '{md5}0a9f5d61636b784409ffddd383da468a'

Just for laughs, I tried removing that file, and re-ran puppet. It pulled a new one, and then complained again about the md5 sum, just as above.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to duplicate.

This is a duplicate of #1056, basically.
