It's not a strict dependency: puppet tries to load it, but it works fine 
without it. It's this line that worries me most to be honest:

> /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/gettext/config.rb:156:in `copy_default_translations': undefined method `chain' for #<FastGettext::TranslationRepository::Po:0x0257e0b0> (NoMethodError)

It seems that somehow it has managed to get the internal state mixed up, as the
object should be a FastGettext::TranslationRepository::Chain, and not
FastGettext::TranslationRepository::Po. I have no idea how that 
happened, but you can help me find out. Can you please run the attached 
script (ruby puppet-locale-test.rb) on your master and reply with the 
output?

Regards,
Apollon
