This is a new installation.

However I found the reason.  The hostname setup is incomplete.  The
server considers the name for the certificate to be "debian-sid." and
uses files "debian-sid..crt" (aka it adds a trailing dot).

The agent seems to be not that kind and tries to get a new certificate,
which fails as the CN is already in use.

I'm curious to learn how one may reproduce this issue. Here in my test containers none of the machines' hostnames have a FQDN: only the host part exists, and neither do puppet agent nor puppetserver add a trailing dot to the client certificate.

If a certificate can be generated for it, it works, so yes one can use puppet on machines without FQDNs.

Downgraded to normal.
