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

[Sebastian Kayser]

Greetings,

as I just ran into the same problem, here is the likely cause for this
reported bug: puppetd creates those local directories (e.g. client_yaml)
with the proper permissions if required, but it doesn't do so when being
run in --noop mode (--noop can be seen in Adrian's previous comment).

Could be helpful if either
a) the package shipped those directories out-of-the-box
b) puppetd would create the directories even when called with --noop
c) puppetd would emit a notice pointing out the --noop issue

Sebastian
