What happened?
There are execution and state failures that can leave Target as something other than a string or list in the job cache. salt.runners.jobs line 334 iterates across the targets in the job but doesn't check if the target is iterable. If line 334 in jobs.py was changed from targets = ret[item]["Target"] to targets = ret[item]["Target"] if hasattr(ret[item]["Target"], '__iter__') else [] it would resolve this issue
