#4528 [FVT] Three identical otherpkglist files in /etc/apt/source.list.d on service node installed via xCAT

[GONG Jie]

The management node is a PowerKVM guest, and runs Ubuntu Linux 14.04.1. I was trying to install a diskfull service node with xCAT. The service node is a PowerKVM guest as well.
Below is the detail information about the osimage definition. The file pkglist, otherpkglist, template are all copied from the directory, /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/ubuntu, and left as the default shape.

root@c910f03c04k07:~# lsdef -t osimage service_1503c
Object name: service_1503c
    imagetype=linux
    osarch=ppc64el
    osname=Linux
    osvers=ubuntu14.04.1
    otherpkgdir=http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports trusty main,http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports trusty-updates main,http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports trusty universe,http://10.3.4.7/install/post/otherpkgs/ubuntu14.04.1/ppc64el/xcat-core/ trusty main,http://10.3.4.7/install/post/otherpkgs/ubuntu14.04.1/ppc64el/xcat-dep/ trusty main
    otherpkglist=/install/custom/install/ubuntu/service.ubuntu.otherpkgs.pkglist
    pkgdir=/install/ubuntu14.04.1/ppc64el
    pkglist=/install/custom/install/ubuntu/service.pkglist
    profile=service
    provmethod=install
    template=/install/custom/install/ubuntu/service.tmpl

After the service node was installed, I accidentally find out, on the service node, there are three otherpkglist files in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d.

root@c910f03c04k06:~# ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list.d
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 351 Jan 18 18:34 xCAT-otherpkgs0.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 351 Jan 18 18:34 xCAT-otherpkgs1.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 351 Jan 18 18:34 xCAT-otherpkgs2.list

And these three files are identical same. Although, this problem is not a big deal, and no side effect was found. But the main idea of system administration is maintain the system neat and clean, no unnecessary redundancy.

root@c910f03c04k06:~# diff -u /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xCAT-otherpkgs{0,1}.list 
root@c910f03c04k06:~# echo $?
