[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#514571: cannot find facts for hosts, looks in /var/puppet/yaml/node

[martin f krafft]

Package: puppetmaster
Version: 0.24.5-3
Severity: important

lenny/sid's puppetmaster randomly stops working and fills the logs
with

  puppetmasterd[30121]: Could not find facts for pulse.madduck.net; you probably have a discrepancy between the node and fact names
  puppetmasterd[30121]: Could not call: No such file or directory - /var/puppet/yaml/node

I cannot help but notice /var/puppet/yaml/node, which is not used on
Debian. Something is hitting the fan here...

puppet invocations report:

  err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional
  resources during transaction: No such file or directory
  - /var/puppet/yaml/node

followed by *plenty* other errors.

vera:/etc/puppet# puppetmasterd --configprint all | grep yaml
catalog_format = yaml
clientyamldir = /var/lib/puppet/client_yaml
statefile = /var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml
yamldir = /var/lib/puppet/yaml
vera:/etc/puppet# puppetmasterd --configprint all | grep -c /var/puppet
0

Restarting puppetmasterd seems to fix the problem. It's still a bug
somewhere.
