Package: puppet
Version: 0.24.4-8
Severity: normal
Hello,
puppet uses the rundir variable in /etc/puppet/puppetd.conf to
specify the directory where the PID file located at.
stoping/restarting puppetd didn't work on my system (minimal etch
installation, updated to lenny), unless I changed
rundir=/var/run/ to rundir=/var/run/puppet. The init script
refers to /var/run/puppet/puppetd.pid as well.
Once i changed the variable, stopping/restaring the daemon
worked like a charme.
I received the following error message in syslog:
Jul 15 17:26:43 bruce puppetd[11500]: Could not create PID file:
/var/run/puppetd.pid
Best Regards,
Stefan.

Closing as Micah said:
* Handling of the rundir setting has been changed; we now store PID files
in /var/run/puppet, and the initscripts have been modified to ensure
that this directory exists on startup. It is no longer necessary to set
rundir explicitly in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf, and you should ensure that
you have no explicit rundir setting in your puppet.conf unless you want
to use a custom rundir setting for your own local purposes.
To be clear, this bug was fixed in 0.23.2-12, but the submitter was
using an old config file.
