Package: puppet Version: 0.25.4-2~bpo50+1 Severity: minor I've just been trying to set up my first puppet installation, and spent a bit of time trying to work out why my squeeze client had troubles connecting to the lenny server. There wasn't much in the way of useful error messages, just the client waiting for a certificate from the server, and the server claiming there were no certificates to be signed.
I eventually found a bit in the documentation that mentioned that there "might be issues" when trying to connect a newer client to an older server. Once I discovered this, I installed the backports of the newer puppet on the server and all was well. However, this would've been much easier to debug if the client and/or server had logged an error message indicating that the two versions were incompatible. It would be nice if the client could perform a version check when first connecting to the server. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages puppet depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii facter 1.5.1-0.1 a library for retrieving facts fro ii libopenssl-ruby 4.2 OpenSSL interface for Ruby ii libruby [libxmlrpc-ruby 4.2 Libraries necessary to run Ruby 1. ii libshadow-ruby1.8 1.4.1-8 Interface of shadow password for R ii libxmlrpc-ruby 4.2 transitional dummy package ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii puppet-common 0.25.4-2~bpo50+1 common files for puppet and puppet ii ruby1.8 1.8.7.72-3lenny1 Interpreter of object-oriented scr Versions of packages puppet recommends: ii libaugeas-ruby1.8 0.3.0-1~bpo50+1 Augeas bindings for the Ruby langu ii rdoc 4.2 Generate documentation from ruby s Versions of packages puppet suggests: pn puppet-el <none> (no description available) ii vim-puppet 0.25.4-2~bpo50+1 Vim syntax highlighting for puppet -- no debconf information -- Chris Butler <chr...@debian.org> GnuPG Key ID: 1024D/D097A261 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
