PROBLEM:
puppet agent -t
Info: Using configured environment
'production'
Info: Retrieving pluginfacts
Info: Retrieving plugin
Info: Retrieving locales
Info: Loading facts
Error: Facter: error while
resolving custom facts in
/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/facter/packages_of_interest.rb: undefined
local variable or method `package' for main:Object
Did you mean? packages
Info: Caching catalog for server.com
Info: Applying configuration
version '1606329246'
Notice: Applied catalog in 1.40
seconds
SOLUTION:
Looking at the subroutine in packages_of_interest.rb,
replace package with "matching_package" gets rid of that error.
Adding the the package name to the
error message shows which package. I
changed line 57 from
from
puts "unknown provider passed (#{package[:provider]})"
to
puts "unknown provider passed (#{matching_package[:provider]}) for
package (#{matching_package[:name]})"
The agent replaces this file,
so copy the modified file into place once the agent says it updates package_of_interest.rb
This is the error message
now:
"unknown provider passed
(pip2) for package (javapackages)"
even though pip2 exists on
the system
I'm opening a ticket with
Support since this seems like a bug.
