[BUG] salt.pkgrepo fails with "'tornado' is not defined"

[darkpixel]

I was running an ancient version of the salt formula. I wanted to switch to using the formula to manage the repo, so I did a 'git pull' and got commit 226a187.

On a new Debian 10 install (which has salt 2018.3.4) I ran:

I tested on a minion that already had 3003 and got the same error.

Since other calls to pkgrepo.managed work from other states, just not from salt.pkgrepo, I'm thinking this might be a bug in salt-formula.

Probably Jinja3 issue: saltstack/salt#60188

[darkpixel]

I think you're correct. I'll start tracking that bug. Thanks!

In case it helps someone else: You also get this error message if the firewall on the minion doesn't allow outgoing access to the repo or gpgkey location.
