Package: cfengine3
Version: 3.21.0-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Trying to set up cfengine as a policy host in bookworm.
Minimal procedure would be:
1. install cfengine3 on host; enable services in /etc/default/cfengine3
2. make changes in /var/lib/cfengine3/masterfiles (which was populated
from /usr/share/cfengine3/masterfiles during install)
3. bootstrap the host to itself with "cf-agent -B <host's own IP address>"
4. this should result in /var/lib/cfengine3/masterfiles being (verified
and) copied over to /var/lib/cfengine3/inputs and used by the cfengine3
service
5. host is then available as policy host to other devices
Instead, after step 4 the contents of /usr/share/cfengine3/masterfiles
are always copied back to /var/lib/cfengine3/inputs; and it is not
usable as a policy host.
Capturing -v output of the bootstrap run seems to show that
/var/lib/cfengine3/masterfiles/ are copied over correctly first; but are then
replaced by /usr/share/cfengine3/inputs
In comparison, the cfengine-community package v3.21.4 available direct
from the cfengine3 project pages works as expected when following steps
1..5 above (but uses /var/cfengine/ instead of /var/lib/cfengine3).
