詹金斯1.509.2在Ubuntu上构建失败

当构建主机运行Ubuntu 13.04时，此配置起作用。由于使用Jenkins 1.509.2将build master升级到Ubuntu13.10，Ubuntu12.04 build slaves在归档工件步骤中失败。我在谷歌上搜索并检查了Debian BTS和Launchpad，但没有发现任何关于这个错误的信息

我确定只有当工作区包含符号链接时才会发生崩溃。作为一种解决方法，在jenkins继续归档工作区之前，我将删除所有符号链接添加到我的（“执行shell”）构建步骤中

除了Ubuntu版本之外，你还做了其他的改变吗？这看起来像是JVM版本或Jenkins版本的问题，我不知道。更新Ubuntu为Jenkins和OpenJDK带来了更新。我确认jenkins master将slave.jar交付给构建从机。有什么特别需要我调查的吗？Windows build slave可以正常工作。它是通过JNLP启动的。
