[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart script generation error with snippet "template"

[Jonathan Scott]

Good Morning,

I just tried to build a new kickstart profile on my freshly patched
Spacewalk 1.8 install, only to be greeted with the following error:


# *** 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.
#

It seems to be associated with the "Template" portion of the pre/post
script section calling out to my snippets (which work on my older 1.7
install without issue). Unchecking this checkbox resolves the issue, but
breaks my kickstart methodology. I did some googling and found that this
was a bug in cobbler2-2.0.10 and was supposed to be resolved in
cobbler2-2.0.11, however, I have cobbler2-2.0.11-4 installed and it seems
to have persisted. Any ideas as to how I can get this resolved?

Thanks,
Jonathan
