[2015.8.0rc1] salt-bootstrap fails to properly install a minion

[iggy]

curl -s -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com | sudo sh -s -- -U -P -p python-jinja2 -A master git v2015.8.0rc1

results in the following output:

 *  INFO: Running daemons_running()
 * DEBUG: Waiting 3 seconds for processes to settle before checking for them
 * ERROR: salt-minion was not found running
 * ERROR: Failed to run daemons_running()!!!

Which makes sense because the init script is missing.

bjackson@dev-kmr01:~$ ls /etc/init.d/salt*
ls: cannot access /etc/init.d/salt*: No such file or directory

Not entirely sure if the error is in salt-bootstrap or salt (or some other place).

bjackson@dev-kmr01:~$ salt-call --versions

curl -s -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com | sudo sh -s -- -U -P -p python-jinja2 -A master git v2015.5.3

works fine

[jfindlay]

@iggy, thanks for the report.

[s0undt3ch]

Can you please paste the script's full output while passing -D to it? ... probably in a gist ...

[iggy]

I can't. When I try to select the output to copy it, my terminal dies. But it did it again and there was (again) no /etc/init.d/salt-minion

[jfindlay]

@s0undt3ch, @iggy: without -D, with -D. in the with -D case, there was no /etc/init.d/salt-minion.

[iggy]

There was no /etc/init.d/salt-minion in either case. But with -D the bootstrap script seems to start the salt-minion in the foreground at the end (which may make it appear to be working correctly).

[s0undt3ch]

@iggy in debug mode is runs the minion in the foreground to see if there's any complaint with salt starting(missing deps, bad code, etc would show up)

[iggy]

Okay, in that sense, the minion starts correctly with -D. But there's still no init script installed.

Are you having trouble reproducing this issue or something? I mean #25456 is open as well that deals with this same bug but in the master. Are you not seeing the same thing when you install the rc with the bootstrap script?

[s0undt3ch]

@jfindlay is starting up another VM so we can get our hands even dirtier trying to find the source if this problem...

[s0undt3ch]

I know what the problem is. We removed the debian directory from our repository, so there's no init script to copy from...
Taking care of if...
