Arch Linux User Repository

FYI to all users - I am aware that the package is currently out of date. I am purposefully holding back the package temporarily as there appears to be a major issue with the current latest version (8.2.1) preventing agents from getting catalogs.

Asking around upstream to see if I can get any assistance. It's possible this could be related to using a custom CA. Feel free to try the latest version for yourself and report back if it works for you or not.

Update: Puppet confirmed this issue. I will update the package once the fix has landed: https://github.com/puppetlabs/jvm-ssl-utils/pull/136

Update 2: The issue has been fixed in version 8.3.0. Package updated.

@scarleo What is your locale set to? You might need to switch to a UTF-8 based locale.

What is up with that filename? EDIT: Ok, I get it, it's a check by filename, classy stuff :). Well turns out I didn't have UTF-8 locale in /etc/locale.conf, it's installing now, case closed.

@julius.tzm Actually facter is not bundled with this package at all. The gemspec file that this package now installs is basically just a "shim" to trick ruby into thinking that the facter dependency is satisfied. I agree that it seems really janky, but this actually how Puppetserver gets packaged for the official releases (I copied the gemspec file directly from the official RHEL 8 rpm).

@lb.laboon, yes it works, however I would keep the facter version in sync with the main repo, but that is just a fancy thing.

Many thanks!

@julius.tzm This should be fixed in the latest version. Please try upgrading

Hi @ll,

Does anybody has a clue how to solve this? After a fresh arch install, the facter 3.14.6-2 package is installed by default.

Thanks in advance!

@lb.laboon, thanks a lot, that did the trick. I'm still getting errors in the puppet client logs, but I think it's more of a misconfiguration issue rather than a problem with the package

Hey @devzero, thanks for pointing that out! I use an external CA with my setup, so I hadn't noticed that was broken. I just updated the package so could you try updating? Let me know if that fixes the issue for you.

@lb.laboon Ah yes, I see, sorry about that. I was keyed on looking for /etc/puppetlabs/puppet, not "$confdir", so my brain deemed the pinned comment to be irrelevant :)

I did encounter another (unrelated) problem. Hopefully you can point me in the right direction again.

The puppetserver service starts without any problems, status looks good. Then I start puppet agent services on a couple of other boxes, using the standard Arch Linux puppet package. I now want to sign their certs.

On puppet master, I run sudo puppetserver ca list and get such errors:

/usr/sbin/puppetserver: /opt/puppetlabs/server/apps/puppetserver/cli/apps/ca: /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/puppetserver: line 80: /opt/puppetlabs/server/apps/puppetserver/cli/apps/ca: Success

That path to /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/ruby is hard-coded by /opt/puppetlabs/server/apps/puppetserver/cli/apps/ca, but no ruby is installed in the stated location.

I tried patching that script to use the system installation of ruby, but this only produced more errors:
