[BUG] grain 'lsb_distrib_id' expected by salt/modules/network.py but not populated on Debian #65573

michaelroland · 2023-11-16T13:09:11Z

Description
When executing network.system on Debian 12, setting the hostname results in a stacktrace with a KeyError on key lsb_distrib_id. Looking through salt/grains/core.py, it seems that the lsb_* grains are no longer populated on Debian in favor of os* grains:

salt/salt/grains/core.py

Lines 2142 to 2143 in ffab39b

    
               This function might also return lsb_distrib_* grains 
        
               from _linux_lsb_distrib_data().

and the following puts "debian" on the list of distributions no longer populating the lsb_* grains:

salt/salt/grains/core.py

Lines 2159 to 2162 in ffab39b

    
           if os_release["ID"] in ( 
        
               "almalinux", 
        
               "astra", 
        
               "debian",

However, salt/modules/network.py still relies on these variables for Debian:

salt/salt/modules/network.py

Lines 1534 to 1538 in ffab39b

    
           elif __grains__["os_family"] in ("Debian", "NILinuxRT"): 
        
               with __utils__["files.fopen"]("/etc/hostname", "w") as fh_: 
        
                   fh_.write(__utils__["stringutils.to_str"](hostname + "\n")) 
        
               if __grains__["lsb_distrib_id"] == "nilrt": 
        
                   str_hostname = __utils__["stringutils.to_str"](hostname)

which results in a KeyError when accessing __grains__["lsb_distrib_id"] on line 1537.

Consequently, the lsb_* grains should be re-enabled for Debian or the network module (and potentially others?) needs to be adapted to the removal of these grains.

Setup
This has been tested with salt-ssh from the saltproject.io Debian repository running on Debian 12. Installed salt packages on salt-ssh runner:

salt-common/stable,now 3006.4 amd64 [installed,automatic]
salt-master/stable,now 3006.4 amd64 [installed]
salt-ssh/stable,now 3006.4 amd64 [installed]

The target machine was a freshly installed VM with Debian 12.

Steps to Reproduce the behavior
The salt state to reproduce this is salt/common/host.sls:

set-hostname-dns1e:
  network.system:
    - enabled: True
    - hostname: dns1e
    - domainname: testing.ins.jku.at
    - searchdomain: 'testing.ins.jku.at'
    - nozeroconf: True
    - apply_hostname: True

We test with

salt-ssh -l info -v -c . dns1e state.apply common.host

(having an entry for dns1e in our roster file).

Expected behavior
Applying the state should succeed without an error.

A possible way to temporarily overcome this issue (though not a proper solution in my opinion) is to manually introduce the missing lsb_distrib_id grain, e.g. with

set-hostname-dns1e-fix-missing-grains:
  grains.present:
    - name: lsb_distrib_id
    - value: {{ grains['os_family'] }}
    - force: False

@michaelroland The grains got re-arranged as to what takes precedence to resolve some issues. Let me go dig out the PR and issue etc.

Here it is #61626

Can you review the PR and see if you can live with the reasons for the PR, and if so, close this issue, or offer suggestions as to what you needs to be fixed, as you determine it.

dmurphy18 · 2023-11-17T17:30:31Z

@michaelroland FYI - native support for Debian 12 is coming in the next releases, at least that is the current plan, and the releases should be soon, before the end of the year. Presuming installed Debian 11 packages on Debian 12, which is what I shall do to investigate the network.py issue raised.

dmurphy18 · 2023-11-17T18:24:09Z

Examining the issue, the 'lsb_' is only related to Debian 10, 11 and 12, but works fine on Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04.

On Debian 11 and 12, even though the lsb-release package is installed, it is not available with the native python installed, for example: Debian 12

root@tdeb12:/home/david# python3 --version
Python 3.11.2

Need to see why it is fine on Ubuntu, but suspect that given Ubuntu makes lsb_release available to it's python, the same occurs with Salt.

Salt cannot provide the 'lsb_xxx' grains since on Debian the lsb_release python bindings are not available.

 75 [TRACE   ] Getting lsb_release distro information
 76 [TRACE   ] lsb_release python bindings not available

So question is should fix network.py for key not available, and understand why Debian is not making lsb_release python bindings available

Problem is this code here, if lsb_has_error is True, then should not be skipping merrily ahead for any of the mentioned OS's, see https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/grains/core.py#L2150-L2170

Correct, that's also what I identified as the issue in my initial analysis, didn't realize that this was meant to be done only if filling lsb_* had not failed before.

Thanks for taking care of this with your PR! This seems to solve the issue and I believe it can be closed once #65585 is merged.
