[DRE-maint] Bug#1037178: puppet does not sync files anymore after recent ruby2.5 security upload

[Bernhard Schmidt]

Package: libruby2.5
Version: 2.5.5-3+deb10u5
Severity: grave

Hi,

I can't quite figure out why, but the latest security upload of ruby2.5 in
Buster breaks the ability of the puppet agent to pull files from the master

With 2.5.5-3+deb10u4:
# puppet agent --onetime --server puppet-kom.srv.lrz.de  --test  --no-daemonize
