[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#597399: Various bugs breaking usability in 2.6.0

[Nico Schottelius]

Package: puppet
Version: 2.6.0-4
Severity: serious
Tags: squeeze sid

Hey!

Starting with 2.6.0 in squezze, breaks some puppet manifests, which
used to work with 0.25. and work again with 2.6.1.

For details see:

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4780
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4805

These are only the ones affecting manifests written by me, but
it seems general consensus, that 2.6.0 is a release to avoid
because of its bugs.

Thus I would like you to seriously consider 2.6.1 for squezze,
as otherwise puppet will be long time unusable on Debian stable.

Cheers,

Nico
