[ClusterLabs] SLES11 SP4: Strange problem with "(crm configure) commit"

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi! 

I just had a strange problem: When trying to "clean up" the cib configuration (acually deleting unneded "operations" lines), I failed to commit the change, even through it verified OK:

crm(live)configure# commit
Call cib_apply_diff failed (-206): Application of an update diff failed
ERROR: could not patch cib (rc=206)
INFO: offending xml diff: <diff format="2">

In Syslog I see this:
Aug 21 15:01:48 h02 cib[19397]:    error: xml_apply_patchset_v2: Moved meta_attributes.14926208 to position 1 instead of 2 (0xe3f0f0)

What could be causing this? I think I did the same change about three years ago without problem (with different software, of course).

# rpm -q pacemaker corosync crmsh
pacemaker-1.1.12-18.1
corosync-1.4.7-0.23.5
crmsh-2.1.2+git132.gbc9fde0-18.2
(latest)
