[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#740818: Collected resources with a puppet master fail on Ruby 1.9.x

[Evgeni Golov]

Package: puppet-common
Version: 2.7.23-1~deb7u3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream

Hi,

filling as normal, as Ruby 1.9.x is not officially supported for Puppet 2.7.

After an upgrade of our puppet master from squeeze+backports to wheezy, nodes
that were collecting exported ressources started to fail with the following message:
 err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
 Puppet::Parser::Compiler failed with error ArgumentError:
 wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) on node foobar.example.org

This is reported upstream as [1] and fixed since 3.1.0 [2].

While I know that ruby 1.9.x is unsupported, I think backporting this (trivial) fix
is useful, as Puppet 2.7 works with ruby 1.9.x quite okay otherwise :)

A patch is attached.

Regards
Evgeni
