You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
The Unhandled exception error has shown up at random times during testing as seen in the output below. I have been able to reproduce this somewhat consistently by issuing distro_const build -l slim_cd.xml several times in a row. The error typically shows up after the command is executed 4 times. The error does not cause the build to fail. ########################################################################### wands# distro_const build -l slim_cd_101b2.xml /usr/share/distro_const/DC-manifest.defval.xml validates /tmp/slim_cd_101b2_temp_18484.xml validates Step Resumable Description -------------- --------- ------------- im-pop X Populate the image with packages im-mod X Image area modifications slim-im-mod X Slim CD Image area Modifications br-init X Boot root initialization slim-br-config X Slim CD boot root configuration br-config X Boot root configuration br-arch X Boot root archiving slim-post-mod X Slim CD post bootroot image area modification grub-setup X Grub menu setup post-mod X Post bootroot image area modification iso X ISO image creation usb X USB image creation wands# distro_const build -r post-mod -p iso slim_cd_101b2.xml /usr/share/distro_const/DC-manifest.defval.xml validates /tmp/slim_cd_101b2_temp_18492.xml validates Simple Log: /rpool/dc/slim_cd_101b2/logs/simple-log-2008-11-06-10-25-20 Detail Log: /rpool/dc/slim_cd_101b2/logs/detail-log-2008-11-06-10-25-20 Build started Thu Nov 6 10:25:20 2008 Distribution name: slim_cd_101b2 Build Area dataset: rpool/dc/slim_cd_101b2 Build Area mount point: /rpool/dc/slim_cd_101b2 ==== post-mod: Post bootroot image area modification Removing sbin, kernel and lib from package image area Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660.

Part of the problem is that the socket server is not terminated when DC exits on errors. This can be fixed by adding the following to distro_const.py: try: RET_VAL = main_func() except ... ... finally: # Shut down socket server. # Do in save env in case manifest server obj isn't initialized. try: manifest_server_obj.stop_socket_server() except: pass ... However, this doesn't fix the entire problem. Probably should change to use Thread instead of thread. This may also be a manifestation of a python bug. For example: http://bugs.python.org/issue1722344 Before concluding this, however, Thread should be tried.
