Puppet / PUP-11027 Filesync'd Augeas lenses should not overwrite system lenses Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 7.4.1 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Modules Created: 2021/04/15 7:17 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Trevor Vaughan Puppet Version: All Puppet Server Version: All OS Name/Version: All It looks like augeas lenses that are filesync'd over to target nodes are placed into the default augeas path of /usr/share/augeas/lenses. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to make them readable by all users which means that regular users may have augtool fail if the lens is not made world readable somehow. Desired Behavior: I would like Puppet sync'd lenses to be placed into a puppet-specific location and have the internal Augeas libraries use that path first so that system libraries are not altered.   Add Comment

Re: Filesync'd Augeas lenses should not overwrite system lenses I'm not aware of anything in the pluginsync logic that could cause lenses to be written to somewhere other than Puppet[:libdir] directory. We recently had some issues with the augeas_core module, relating to updating the load path used to find augeas lenses (MODULES-7397 or MODULES-10950), maybe related? What version of puppet-agent and puppetlabs-augeas_core module are you using?

Hi Trevor Vaughan, This ticket has been open for a couple of months, and we would really value your input to prioritize this work. Are you still seeing this issue? Many thanks.

Re: Filesync'd Augeas lenses should not overwrite system lenses

Puppet only pluginsyncs augeas lenses to /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/augeas/lenses It sounds like you might be using packages built by someone else? In any case, I'm going to close this. Please reopen if you can reproduce using a more recent version of puppet-agent and using augeas_core 1.1.2 (which had a fix for the regression in MODULES-10950)
