It looks like we are running into a supposedly fixed bug. We have this
bit of example code:

# force mysql socket to be writable.
"$(mysql_dir)/mysql.sock"
perms => m("0777"),
comment => "make socket world writable";

which results in this verbose log:

verbose: P: Comment: make socket world writable
verbose: Using literal pathtype for '/exports/mysql/mysql.sock'
verbose: Handling file existence constraints on
'/exports/mysql/mysql.sock'
error: chmod failed on '/exports/mysql/mysql.sock'. (chmod: No such
device or address)
verbose: Additional promise info: source path
'/var/cfengine/inputs/mariadb.cf' at line 68 comment 'make socket world
writable'
verbose: Basedir '/exports/mysql/mysql.sock' not promising anything
verbose: A: Promise was KEPT

note the chmod failure.

also note, that the promise is KEPT despite not being able to set the
perms as promised.

note finally, that a "sudo chmod 0777 /exports/mysql/mysql.sock" works
as expected.

I found this:

https://tracker.mender.io/browse/CFE-1782

which claims it is "fixed"

We are running v3.10.0

Hi Greg,

I reopened https://tracker.mender.io/browse/CFE-1782. I was able to reproduce issues setting permissions on a socket.

just realised, I wasn't following this bug and hadn't spotted that it
was fixed "in 3.10.3". This version doesn't turn up here:

https://cfengine.com/product/community/

latest is v3.10.2. When might the new version be available?
