/etc/rc.local is truncated

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

UTAH updates the file rc.local and I noticed that the content of this file is incorrect on the autopilot boxes:

= = = = =
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

while (fuser /var/lib/dpkg/lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock >/dev/null 2>&1); do echo Waiting
exit 0

Could you send the preseed you used when you got this, and tell me where it ran? There should be some package installation commands there normally, so I'd like to figure out why those are missing.

The job ran on PS-Intel-HE-AP. Where is stored the preseed after installation?

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Preseed from http://10.97.0.1:8080/job/ps-indicators-autopilot-release-testing/label=autopilot-intel/ws/

This line generated by UTAH is wrong

Looking at the command and the code it seems the problem is that there is a
nested double quoting that isn't working fine. A fix with either escaping the
quotation marks or replacing them with single quotation marks should fix the
problem.
