That is a peculiar error. I can't reproduce it locally on v0.17.0.

What OS are you running? Is there anything unusual in your master config file, perhaps near the bottom?

@whiteinge
os
Linux 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 22 00:31:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)

master file is default
I use the epel source to yum install

# rpm -qa |grep salt
salt-minion-0.17.1-1.el6.noarch
salt-master-0.17.1-1.el6.noarch
salt-0.17.1-1.el6.noarch

this is not exist in 0.16 version，just in 0.17

@whiteinge I found the reason of the problem，because of the old version configuration file
mv /etc/salt/ /etc/salt_bak and reinstall salt, it was work ok.
Thanks!

I'm glad you were able to track it down! Thanks for the update.
