PROBLEM:

[root@MoM 2019.8.4]# puppet agent -t;

Traceback (most recent call last):

        1: from /opt/puppetlabs/server/apps/bolt-server/bin/puppet:23:in `<main>'

/opt/puppetlabs/server/apps/bolt-server/bin/puppet:23:in `load': cannot load such file -- /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/puppet-6.19.1/bin/puppet (LoadError)

SOLUTION:

Check the PATH environment variable.  If the problem persists after changing PATH, then do:

cp -p /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/puppet /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/puppet.orig

 

/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install puppet -v 6.19.1
