[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#557769: Bug#557769: puppet: /var/lib/puppet/client_yaml should be created

[Adrian Bridgett]

I was pretty sure TBH (I was possibly on a backport of 0.25.1-2 from
backports.org).  Checking one box (which is definitely the backports
package it certainly seems that it's not working - at least not in all
circumstances:

abridgett at ripley:~$ dpkg -l |grep puppet
ii  puppet                                 0.25.1-2~bpo50+1
centralised configuration management for net
abridgett at ripley:~$ cd /var/lib/puppet/
abridgett at ripley:/var/lib/puppet$ ls
clientbucket  client_yaml  facts  lib  ssl  state  templates
abridgett at ripley:/var/lib/puppet$ ls client_yaml/
catalog
abridgett at ripley:/var/lib/puppet$ ls
client_yaml/catalog/ripley.smop.co.uk.yaml  
abridgett at ripley:/var/lib/puppet$ sudo mv client_yaml/ /tmp/
abridgett at ripley:/var/lib/puppet$ sudo puppetd --test --noop
