wrong dpkg-query call when executing "machinery inspect localhost" on Ubuntu 16.04
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Hello there,
I recently installed Machinery 1.21 (along with all requirements) on Ubuntu 16.04 running in a KVM virtual machine.
When running 'machinery inspect localhost' as root, the program works for a while and then crashes at the step 'Inspecting changed-config-files' with an error that seems to indicate machinery tried to get information on a package named 'diversion by branding-ubuntu from' using dpkg-query, so the problem seems to be that this line sneaked into the list of package names somehow and the crash occurs because dpkg-query does not accept package names that contain a space. The log of the crash including backtrace is appended below.
Greetings and thanks in advance
Supersonic
EDIT:
.machinery/machinery.log reveals that the last successful command was dpkg -S /usr/share/gnome-mahjongg/themes/postmodern.svg which returns these three lines:
diversion by branding-ubuntu from /usr/share/gnome-mahjongg/themes/postmodern.svg
diversion by branding-ubuntu to: /usr/share/gnome-mahjongg/themes/postmodern.svg.unbranded
gnome-mahjongg, branding-ubuntu: /usr/share/gnome-mahjongg/themes/postmodern.svg
Hi @Supersonic112, thx for reporting the issue. I can reproduce the issue on my test system and will look into fixing it soon.
