[cobbler] Sync fails to render DNS files following a replicate
Just before I saw the announcement for cobbler 2.4.0-1, I upgraded my
beta RHEL5 installation to cobbler-2.4.0-beta6.el5. I synced my master
and everything looked good. Next, I upgrade my slave and ran a
replicate:
cobbler replicate --master=$master --distros="*" --profiles="*"
--systems="*" --repos="*" --prune
The replication portion went well, but the ensuing sync failed at this
point (from cobbler.log):

!!! TASK FAILED !!!
The error also occurs after doing a "cobbler sync", although the
cobbler.log messages are different:
There are no errors if I change manage_dns from 1 to 0 in
/etc/cobbler/settings. The only thing I haven't done is check all my
500+ system entries for a weird ipv6_address entry (we don't use it).
Maybe this get fixed with the production 2.4.0-1 release? Thanks.

P.S. Also submitted a bug with this info.
