Issue #1893 has been updated by mbrannigan.
I checked the PATH within the running puppetd process with pargs -e: <pre> envp[9]: PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin </pre> However, PATH is configured in my environment just fine: <pre> /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/csw/bin:/opt/csw/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/sfw/sbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/opt/pgsql/bin:/usr/ccs/bin </pre> It's interesting that puppetd did pick up the MANPATH set within /etc/profile, but does not pick up PATH... >From /etc/profile: <pre> MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/opt/csw/man:/opt/csw/share/man:/usr/sfw/man:/usr/sfw/share/man:/opt/local/man:/opt/pgsql/man export MANPATH </pre> >From pargs -e: <pre> envp[3]: MANPATH=/usr/man:/usr/share/man:/opt/csw/man:/opt/csw/share/man:/usr/sfw/man:/usr/sfw/share/man:/opt/local/man:/opt/pgsql/man </pre> It's as if PATH is being overwritten by something within puppetd? ---------------------------------------- Feature #1893: Package resource unable to find gem binary in alternate path http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1893 Author: mbrannigan Status: Re-opened Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.7 Keywords: In our environment, ruby is installed under /opt/local/bin. When I use the gem provider, I get the following error message: <pre> Jan 26 11:17:37 HOST puppetd[25024]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Could not prefetch package provider 'gem': Could not list gems: Execution of 'no gem in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin list --local' returned 1: </pre> Everything is fine if I create a symlinks for /opt/local/bin/ruby and /opt/local/bin/gem in /usr/local/bin. /opt/local/bin is in the system PATH. Would it be possible to have a configuration option to provide a search path for puppetd or perhaps a path attribute on the Package resource? I tried a few things as a work-around and I can't seem to munge the search path for the puppetd process.
