[et-mgmt-tools] Cobbler check backtrace

[Tom Diehl]

Hi,

I just upgraded to cobbler-0.5.1-1. When I run cobbler check I get the following
backtrace:

(rocky pts13) # cobbler check
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 724, in main
     BootCLI(sys.argv).run()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 115, in run

   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/cobbler.py", line 587, in check
     status = self.api.check()
   File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/cobbler/api.py", line 118, in check
     return check.run()

ValueError: unsupported format character ''' (0x27) at index 35

It would appear that this is caused by the following line in my settings file:

ftpboot: /tftpboot/pxe

I know that adding the pxe dir in the above path is wrong as far as cobbler
check is concerned but other than complaining about it cobbler never backtraced
with the previous version[1]. For my particular setup the ftpboot path is correct.

FWIW This machine is running EL4.

Should I put this in bugzilla?

Regards,

Tom

1. "previous version" in this case == cobbler-0.3.3-1
