[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#712780: puppet-common seems to be missing a dependency on ruby-hiera

[Alexander Kurtz]

Package: puppet-common
Version: 3.2.1-1
Severity: important

Hi,

puppet-common seems to be missing a dependency on ruby-hiera. Trying to
apply any manifest which uses classes with default parameters fails if
ruby-hiera is not installed:

	root at shepard:~# puppet --version
	3.2.1
	root at shepard:~# cat demo.pp 
	class greeting(
		$message = "Hello"
	){
		notify { $message:
		}
	}

	class { 'greeting':
	}
	root at shepard:~# puppet apply demo.pp 
	Warning: Could not retrieve fact fqdn
	Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error RuntimeError: Hiera terminus not supported without hiera library at /root/demo.pp:9 on node shepard
	Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error RuntimeError: Hiera terminus not supported without hiera library at /root/demo.pp:9 on node shepard

Installing the "ruby-hiera" package makes puppet work again:

	root at shepard:~# apt-get -qq install ruby-hiera
	Preconfiguring packages ...

	root at shepard:~# 

Please add ruby-hiera to puppet-common's dependencies!

Best regards
