Hello all,
I am not particularly familiar with rancid, but after migrating rancid to a new machine (identical rancid and CVS version), errors keep showing up at the rancid logs.
Running rancid produces this error in the logs (amongst other similair ones for other modules):
Trying to get all of the configs.
All routers sucessfully completed.
cvs diff: Diffing .
cvs [diff aborted]: could not find desired version 1.23 in /export/rancid/cvs/ABC1/routers.down,v
cvs commit: Examining .
cvs [commit aborted]: could not find desired version 1.23 in /export/rancid/cvs/ABC1/routers.down,v
ending: Wed Mar 4 13:10:38 CET 2009
When I take a look at the file stated by the CVS error output, it seems like 1.21 is the HEAD:
# head /export/rancid/cvs/ABC1/routers.down,v
head 1.21;
access;
symbols
start:1.1.1.1 rancid:1.1.1;
locks; strict;
comment @# @;
1.21
date 2008.11.18.13.13.32; author rancid; state Exp;
I tried to reproduce the error by doing a manual CVS checkout, change a file, and run the diff command as executed by rancid (cvs -f diff -U 4 -ko) which Works perfectly fine.
How do I debug from here? Is my CVS corrupt, or does rancid somehow keep track of the version it has to diff against?
