salt-ssh fails on test methods b/c sha1 binary is not available

[pille]

i wasn't able to get this salt-ssh working:

pille@salt-master ~ [1] % sudo salt-ssh '*' test.version 
live3:
    /bin/sh: 60: sha1: not found
    /bin/sh: 60: [: =: unexpected operator
    /usr/bin/python2.7: can't open file '/tmp/.salt/salt-call': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
    
pille@salt-master ~ % sudo salt-ssh '*' test.ping   
live3:
    /bin/sh: 60: sha1: not found
    /bin/sh: 60: [: =: unexpected operator
    /usr/bin/python2.7: can't open file '/tmp/.salt/salt-call': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

when i provide a symlink for sha1 pointing to sha1sum.
i'm on ubuntu-12.04 and this works.

working around this, leads to #8882.

Was the target system also Ubuntu 12.04 or another OS?

[pille]

same.

@pille So in your master conf, do you have hash_type set to sha1? And, if so, what if you set hash_type to sha1sum?

[pille]

yes, that's true. in this case my setup differs from the default.

[cro]

OK, I think if you set hash_type to sha1sum, that would be the 'best' way to fix it for the time being. Does that work?

[pille]

setting this to the default of md5 does probably work. somehow it raised another error?!

the sha1sum-trick does not work:
