[Pkg-linaro-lava-devel] Bug#815584: lava-dispatcher: Broken default configuration when more than one inet NIC

[Petr Vorel]

Package: lava-dispatcher
Version: 2016.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #815584

I duplicate info from https://github.com/Linaro/pkg-lava-dispatcher/pull/9 here for other users beaten by this feature.

I still consider the bugreport  as valid. Have you tried to reproduce it with >= 2 inet
NIC? As if you do it on a fresh install, you get this config file:

# This is the IP the device downloads the image parts from.
LAVA_SERVER_IP = 192.168.240.131
10.84.77.6
Second IP is on the new line which, of course, breaks parsing config:
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise e
ConfigParser.ParsingError: File contains parsing errors: None

Anyway it's a bit unpleasant behaviour which deserve a fix :-).

To easily reproduce it with just one NIC, just add another IP address to your interface
(https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#Multiple_IP_addresses_on_one_Interface).
