cobbler 1.6.2 sync error

[Marcos A. Mondragon]

Hello,

I was upgrading a test server and when I run cobbler sync this pops out:

# *** ERROR ***
#
# There is a templating error preventing this file from rendering correctly. 
#
# This is most likely not due to a bug in Cobbler and is something you can fix.
#
# Look at the message below to see what things are causing problems.  
#
# (1) Does the template file reference a $variable that is not defined?
# (2) is there a formatting error in a Cheetah directive?
# (3) Should dollar signs ($) be escaped that are not being escaped?
#
# Try fixing the problem and then investigate to see if this message goes
# away or changes.
#
# 
# cannot find 'system' while searching for 'iface.system.netboot_enabled'
#   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/templar.py", line 115, in render

#

Error templating file: /etc/dhcpd.conf

I'm going to guess from the message that I did something wrong but the question is where to start looking...

Thanks,

in the .rpmnew template

[Marcos A. Mondragon]

I just looked at the list archives and saw the message from Tom Brown (as well as the entire thread on the dhcpd error) and I fixed the problem by using th .rpmnew template and adding my changes.  Not sure what changed but this did the trick ...

Look for rpmnew files in /etc/cobbler.
