Installation is broken on vanilla Debian 9 (2016.11)

[gboddin]

Since the fix of #364 a new issue has been introduced which makes it impossible to use this recipe on vanilla Debian.

osfamilymap.yaml has been modified with salt['pillar.filter_by'] :

salt-formula/salt/osfamilymap.yaml

Line 6 in 683f455

{% set py_ver_dir = salt['pillar.filter_by'](ospyver, pillar='salt:py_ver', default='py2') %}

salt['pillar.filter_by'] doesn't seems to be available on the distro provided version ( 2016.11.2 ).

Result is :

dotnetcore002:
    - Rendering SLS 'base:salt.pkgrepo.debian' failed: Jinja variable 'salt.utils.templates.AliasedLoader object' has no attribute 'pillar.filter_by'
      /var/cache/salt/minion/files/base/salt/osfamilymap.yaml(6):

      # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
      # vim: ft=yaml
      
      {% import_yaml "salt/ospyvermap.yaml" as ospyvermap %}
      {% set ospyver = salt['grains.filter_by'](ospyvermap, grain='os_family') or {} %}
      {% set py_ver_dir = salt['pillar.filter_by'](ospyver, pillar='salt:py_ver', default='py2') %}    <======================
      
      {% set osrelease = salt['grains.get']('osrelease') %}
      {% set salt_release = salt['pillar.get']('salt:release', 'latest') %}
      {% if salt_release.split('.')|length >= 3 %}
      {% set salt_release = 'archive/' ~ salt_release %}
      [...]

@gboddin Apologies for this regression, this is a duplicate of #405. This isn't specific to Debian 9 but rather 2016.11 as you pointed out. The thing is, 2016.11 is no longer supported, with the release of 2019.2. The full explanation is in #405, particularly this comment. There is also a workaround there if you need to continue supporting 2016.11 minions.
