[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#462551: puppetmaster: Improper ownership of /var/lib/puppet/state

[Stuart Teasdale]

Package: puppetmaster
Version: 0.24.1-2
Severity: normal

When puppet is first run it creates /var/lib/puppet/state with owner
root:root. If puppetmaster has storeconfigs enabled, then the default
sqlite3 config is to write the database to this path, but as
puppetmaster runs as user puppet the file can't be written and the
puppetmasterd dies.

Precreating the file with the right ownership at puppet install time
should fix the problem.
