Good morning Guys,
i ad several groups which i want to delete on my bastion host. Every time i delete a group, it output follow error:
*** Deleting group 'keysbw-rs-servers' sudoers file `-> [ERR.] keysbw-rs-servers doesn't seem to be a valid bastion group

Below the complete output from console:

---bastion02----------------------------------------------the-bastion-3.01.01---
=> delete an existing bastion group
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*** Deleting group 'keysbw-rs-servers' sudoers file `-> [ERR.] keysbw-rs-servers doesn't seem to be a valid bastion group

If i try to delete the same group again, it display that the group do not exist.
~ Group 'keysbw-rs-servers' doesn't exist

What am I doing wrong? Is it a possibly an error?

Regards,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

The message you're seeing is a little regression introduced by 50c016be10; thanks for the report.

In the meantime, you can ignore this message: the group has still been deleted successfully. It only leaves a useless file behind in /etc/sudoers.d, but this doesn't have any impact since the group no longer exists. The file will be cleaned up automatically on the next update, as regenerating the sudoers file is part of the process of all upgrades.

The fix is easy and should be up soon. We're also patching the tests to better detect such problems.
