Nope - there are not files installed by the package. > If they're files that are > installed as part of running Puppet, aren't they in the wrong location? > That's correct. Debian bug 484659 covers the reason for moving templates/ to /etc/puppet/. It seems that manifests/, templates/ and files/ directories should all be located under the same directory. The question seems to be whether they should all be in /var/lib/puppet/ or /etc/puppet/. Files located in these directories are site specific and are part of "running" puppet. May be they should all be moved to /var/lib/puppet/? -- Mathias Gug Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
