[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#707130: puppet: Error 414 on SERVER

Tue May 7 17:46:16 UTC 2013

Package: puppet
Version: 2.6.2-5+squeeze7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

My puppet server has been updated to 3, but not the client since that doesn't
seem to be avilable for this platform yet.  Since the update, puppet agent
--test fails on the client with:

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 414 on SERVER: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">

This seems to be a bug that's been known about for some time but hasn't
been fixed.
