Description Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2015-07-18 23:23:10 CEST

From Bug #38988:

> The diagnostic module should also check for other Tracebacks like
> - wrong credentials for repositories

Please note that "incorrect" credentials are currently default in several scenarios. The some apps automatically configure external 3rd party repositories to include security updates. These repos are only available for paying customers, all other users get a permission denied.
I think, it would be an incorrect signal to the user to display these tracebacks as a problem via the diagnostic module.

Find exception tracebacks in all files in `/etc/sources.list.d/*` and display them as a Warning.

`ConfigurationErrors` are not reported with a full traceback and are therefore
not covered by this check. This seems to be intended behaviour to me. Note that
this covers the case in comment 2.

Updated the regex to be more permissive (thanks Florian).
Comment 5 Lukas Oyen univentionstaff 2017-08-01 16:30:26 CEST
Committed in r81620 - r81621 (advisory r81649).
Comment 6 Florian Best univentionstaff 2017-08-01 18:46:54 CEST
* typo in german translation "Dateine"
* full sentences would be better
Comment 7 Lukas Oyen univentionstaff 2017-08-02 15:16:36 CEST
r81707: fix typo in translation of sources_list_check

The "All files ok" is just pro forma. This is in the current implementation of the diagnostic module never shown, as the overview just displays error messages. In case of an error the `description` is replaced with the actual error message.
Comment 8 Florian Best univentionstaff 2017-08-08 17:46:03 CEST
I found the following error in the sources.list by adding a new component (via the repository module):

# Configuration error: host is unresolvable: foobar

It was not detected.

Comment 10 Florian Best univentionstaff 2017-08-10 13:02:18 CEST
Please add a solution button "Regenerate sources list" / "Source-Listen neu generieren" /etc.

Implemented in r81988.
Comment 12 Florian Best univentionstaff 2017-08-29 15:05:40 CEST
Please adjust the german translation:
+"Dieser Fehler mag durch eine erneute Generierung der Source-Listen zu "
+"beheben sein."

Maybe better:
"Dieser Fehler könnte durch eine erneute Generierung der Source-Listen behoben werden".
Comment 13 Lukas Oyen univentionstaff 2017-09-04 15:49:03 CEST
Fixed:

4.2-1: r82618, YAML: r82626
4.2-2: r82627, YAML: r82635
Comment 14 Florian Best univentionstaff 2017-09-04 16:40:16 CEST
All right.
