[rancid] "Stuttering" and line-ending mangling on ASR9000?

[Howard Jones]

We have an ASR9001 that registers a change a few times a day that looks
like this:


--- bgp1 (revision 17595)
+++ bgp1 (revision 17596)
@@ -1,6 +1,4 @@
-!RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: cisco
-!
-!Ch!Chassis type: ASR-9001 - a ASR9K Series router
+!RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: cisco-xr!Ch!Chassis type: ASR-9001 - a ASR9K
Series router
!CPU: P4040
!
!Memory: main 8388608K


Or back the other way. That is, the line endings of the internally
generated RANCID content seem to be changing. Also, there is a stutter
in there (!Ch!Chassis) in both variations. Also, the content-type
switches between cisco and cisco-xr (or is truncated perhaps).

Any ideas on where this might be coming from? It would have to be
between bin/rancid and lib/rancid/rancid.pm, wouldn't it?

This is with rancid 3.6.2, plus a few local patches, but nothing to do
with output processing (file naming only). Same install has a couple
hundred other devices (no other IOS XR though, I don't think) all
working happily.

Thanks in advance,

Howard

Do you have multiple entries in your router.db file for the same device (one as type cisco and another as type cisco-xr)?

Good catch :-)

I guess I was seeing two competing processes writing to the same temp
file...

Thanks Dan!
