[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#954284: puppet broken with ruby 2.7

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: puppet
Version: 5.5.10-4
Severity: grave

Hello,

With ruby 2.7 upload, when running the puppet cli, I get the following
warning/error:

/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util.rb:461: warning: URI.escape is obsolete
cannot load such file -- sync

puppet returns a non-zero exit code

Kind regards,

Laurent Bigonville
