[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#561650: fails to work with ipv6 resolver

[martin f krafft]

Package: puppetmaster
Version: 0.25.1-2
Severity: normal
Tags: ipv6

If /etc/resolv.conf contains an IPv6 nameserver (and everything
basically works), then puppetmaster won't. While existing clients
seem to work fine, a new client elicits the following warning:

  puppetmasterd[7369]: Could not resolve 80.68.90.58: Address family
  not supported by protocol - sendto(2)

That client will not be able to submit a CSR to the puppet CA.

After removing the IPv6 nameserver, I needed to purge and reinstall
the client's puppetd for the certificate exchange to work.
