Description Rob Crittenden 2013-05-13 13:58:34 UTC 
Description of problem:

In the context of the IPA client installer, ipa-client-install, we try to update the DNS A records. This is returning an error, though DNS is properly updated.

The update file looks like:

zone example.com.
update delete zeus.example.com. IN A
send
update add zeus.example.com. 1200 IN A 192.168.166.6
send

It is executed as:

/usr/bin/nsupdate -g /etc/ipa/.dns_update.txt 

On stderr we see:

mem.c:877: INSIST(ctx->stats[i].gets == 0U) failed.

And the return value is 6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

bind-utils-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.5

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install an IPA server, say in RHEL 6.4
2. ipa-client-install in RHEL 5.9
  
Actual results:

Failed to update DNS A record. (Command '/usr/bin/nsupdate -g /etc/ipa/.dns_update.txt' returned non-zero exit status 6)

Hi.

Could you please attach the '/etc/ipa/.dns_update.txt' file?
