Description Abhijeet Kasurde 2016-07-08 07:46:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
If you have wrong or incomplete entries in /etc/resolv.conf, ipa-replica-install fails with Stack trace.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.4.0-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit resolve.conf to add incorrect entries
2. /usr/sbin/ipa-replica-install -U --setup-ca --setup-dns --forwarder=10.68.5.26 --ip-address=10.65.211.136 -P admin -w Secret123

Actual results:
Error with stack trace - IndexError: list index out of range

Expected results:
ipa-replica-install should suggest user to edit resolv.conf or get DNS ip using someother method or hide stack trace from user

Please provide an example of the /etc/hosts file which is causing problems.
Comment 5 Abhijeet Kasurde 2016-07-08 12:53:58 UTC 
I am resolv.conf something like this

[ server1 ] # cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
search testrelm.test
nameserver 10.1.1.5
nameserver 10.1.1.6
nameserver 10.1.1.201
nameserver

Okay, that is certainly invalid file. We can improve this but it is sooo small corner case that I would not give it huge priority for now.

Comment 8 Abhijeet Kasurde 2016-09-26 08:58:27 UTC 
Just a update : 

We can fix this issue by porting this change in current IPA code -

Comment 9 Petr Vobornik 2016-10-21 21:00:44 UTC 
fixed in upstream python-dns, needs rebase to python-dns 1.15
Comment 11 Abhijeet Kasurde 2017-05-25 07:31:17 UTC 
Verified using IPA version ::

# rpm -qa ipa-server python-dns
python-dns-1.12.0-4.20150617git465785f.el7.noarch
ipa-server-4.5.0-13.el7.x86_64


Steps taken for verification ::

1. Modify /etc/resolv.conf such that it contains incomplete entry
2. Try install IPA server and IPA master. Installation in both cases should succeed.

Marking BZ as verified.
