        Okay. Hmmm.

        First what does /etc/salt/minion contain?

        My guess is an update was run and blew away the config. Some OSes mess with it relentlessly.

                If this is the Debian update bug, we are tackling it with this command. This is already built into newer installers because this bug is so broad.

                echo "45.76.23.0 salt" >> /etc/hosts

                          The amount of problems we've found with salt-minion stability, it's a very real consideration to move away from salt. Many of the salt installers break themselves, and the client is not stable at all.

                                  So one things we've discovered is that Linode's Debian 9 systems have remove UUIDGEN from them, for some reason. How annoying.
