Subject: Initial setup problems on Ubuntu edgy (06.10) - msg#00283

Good day,

After having lurked for a while I've decided to actually start using
puppet starting on my small home network. I've been following :

http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/InstallationGuide

and :-

http://www.howtoforge.com/installing_puppet_on_ubuntu

to test puppet on 2 hosts, librarian running the puppetmasterd and
mortvm.

Unfortunately, I didn't get very far; whilst trying to obtain a cert
for mortvm I've received the following errors :-

adrian@mort:~$ sudo puppetd --server librarian --waitforcert 60 --test
Could not autoload "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/host/parsed.rb":

This is with the following packages (downloaded from debian sid) :-

ii facter 1.3.8-1 a library for retrieving
facts from operating systems
ii libopenssl-ruby 1.0.0+ruby1.8.2-1 OpenSSL interface for Ruby
ii libopenssl-ruby1.8 1.8.4-5ubuntu1.2 OpenSSL interface for Ruby 1.8
ii libshadow-ruby1.8 1.4.1-7 Interface of shadow password
for Ruby 1.8
ii libxmlrpc-ruby 1.8.2-1 XML-RPC support for Ruby
ii puppet 0.23.2-10 centralised configuration
management for networks
ii ruby 1.8.2-1 An interpreter of
object-oriented scripting language Ruby
ii ruby1.8 1.8.4-5ubuntu1.2 Interpreter of
object-oriented scripting language Ruby 1.8

I've just tested this on a Ubuntu feisty host and it doesn't give
this error so it would seem to indicate some problems with
(presumably newer versions of) puppet on Ubuntu edgy.

Can anyone else confirm (or deny) this before I report a bug.

Sincerely,

Adrian Phillips
