[rancid] procurve 3500 series

[Richard Golier]

Hello all,
we have a problem getting configs from HP procurve 3500 series switches
with the K.13.09 version firmware. There wasn't problem like this with
an older K.12.x series. Rancid version is 2.3.2~a7-3 from debian
packages. Below is the error output from the logs. Is there any solution
available?
Richard.

It seems like I found the cause of the problem. In K.12 series of the
firmware there was a command 'show system-information'. In K.13 series
it has been changed to 'show system information'. After modifying the
hrancid script appropriately, configs from the switches with new
firmware can be fetched again. Could this be fixed somehow, so that both
old and new version would work?
