While bolt is not packaged in Debian, it seems mcollective has no users and whoever was running it has very likely replaced it by now with something else. I know a number of sites now using Puppet + ansible instead of Puppet + mcollective. AFAIK the old mcollective doesn't work with current Puppet, but I haven't looked since 2018 either :-) Chris
