[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#557874: puppet: Puppet from lenny (0.24.5) and from sid (0.25.1) cannot communicate

[Sylvain Le Gall]

Package: puppet
Version: 0.25.1-2
Severity: normal


On my sid system, I downgrade puppet to 0.24.5:

~# dpkg -i ~gildor/download/deb/puppet_0.24.5-3_all.deb 
dpkg : avertissement : dégradation (« downgrade ») de puppet depuis
0.25.1-2 vers 0.24.5-3.
...

Then run puppet:
~# /usr/sbin/puppetd -w 5 --no-daemonize --onetime --verbose
warning: peer certificate won't be verified in this SSL session
notice: Got signed certificate
info: Retrieving plugins
info: Caching catalog at /var/lib/puppet/state/localconfig.yaml
[...]
notice: Finished catalog run in 5.44 seconds

Everything is ok there.

Then I go back to current sid version:
~# apt-get install puppet
[...]
Paramétrage de puppet (0.25.1-2) ...
[...]

~# /usr/sbin/puppetd -w 5 --no-daemonize --onetime --verbose
info: Retrieving plugin
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not retrieve information from source(s) puppet://giga.gallu.homelinux.org/plugins
notice: Using cached catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run


I think the problem comes from a problem an incompatibility between this
two versions. Maybe it is an expected behavior. I think it is worth at
least a mention in NEWS.Debian or README.Debian.
