[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#460203: puppet: init script does not work correctly

[Bart Cortooms]

Package: puppet
Version: 0.24.1-1
Severity: normal

The init script for Puppet gets the pid file from /var/run/puppet, while
a default Puppet install stores the pid file in /var/lib/puppet/run
('$vardir/run').  Because of this a "/etc/init.d/puppet stop" does not
work.

Adding rundir=/var/run/puppet to /etc/puppet/puppet.conf fixes this:

[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
