Package: puppet
Version: 2.6.0-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

We run 4 squeeze freebsd servers, and the puppet clients talk to a lenny
+ bpo puppetmaster.  When 2.6.0 migrated to squeeze, we started to get
empty files on the clients.  The clients knew that the checksum was
non-empty, but never pulled the data down, eg:

notice: //Nagios::Client/File[/etc/nagios/nrpe.d/nrpe_dsa.cfg]/content: content 
changed '{md5}d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' to 
'{md5}a5043ad9ae1e3173348704fffb001613'

(d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e is the md5sum of the empty string, and
a5043ad9ae1e3173348704fffb001613 is the correct md5sum of the file.
However, the file would still be 0 byte at the end of the puppet run.

Downgrading to the version below produces correct behavior.

Cheers,

Hello, and thanks for reporting an issue with the puppet package.

The problem you have encountered is known, and documented in the
upstream release notes:

,----[ http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Release_Notes ]
| It is also important to note when upgrading that not all versions are
| backwards compatible.  Newer clients may not work with older servers
| and vice-versa.  Where possible backwards-compatibility is maintained
| but it’s not always totally successful.  The best approach is to
| ensure your master and clients are the same version.  When upgrading
| it is also recommended that you upgrade your master first.
`----

The situation is not ideal, but I'm going to close this bug in the
Debian Bug Tracker.

If you have any ideas about how the situation could be improved, please
open a bug, preferrably in the upstream bug tracker at
<http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/issues>
