The tickets show no activity. At this point it will have to rise to the top=
=20
of our backlog or have a community member step up to make a fix.
As Vratistlav mentioned a while ago in this thread:
> these errors are a result of a change [1] in the edit_line implementation=
=20
to better inform users
what is happening (the referenced private ticket has a title "Make sure all=
=20
files and packages
promises inform about all changes they make"). But since you are using the=
=20
'set_variable_values_ini'
edit_line bundle, there's no way for you to fix this in your policy. It is=
=20
actually a bug in the
'set_variable_values_ini' bundle.
[1]=20
https://github.com/cfengine/core/commit/9f114044d2530c20797d0c1cac51d2892b4=
76b5f
So it would seem the most likely place to fix is in masterfiles in=20
lib/files.cf: https://github.com/cfengine/masterfiles/blob/master/lib/files=
.cf#L421
The ticket is open here: https://northerntech.atlassian.net/browse/CFE-4459
Other related bugs are
- https://northerntech.atlassian.net/browse/CFE-2663 - Problems selecting=
=20
INI regions
- https://northerntech.atlassian.net/browse/CFE-3988 - edit_line doesn't=20
insert after the last matched line when selecting a region where the end=20
delimiter is included
Sorry it hasn't been resolved yet. I will check if we can bump it up in=20
priority.

<br>Hi David
<br>
<br>
<br>I didn't see a ticket in this thread to check status on, probably
<br>no work has been done.
<br>
<br>PRs are great if you know how to fix, but at least having a standalone
<br>policy file that reproduces the issue is necessary.
<br>
<br>If you can make sure there is a ticket that at least contains a
<br>reproducer then there is better chance of something happening.
