Issue #2211 has been updated by jflorian.
Just to clarify: Our use case requires the non-daemon mode and for package installation to succeed despite a working network connection because puppet is running on hosts that can be isolated from the network for periods of time. These systems run a read-only, Live OS image from CompactFlash and thus loose all the work puppet did done previously, if they get rebooted. The idea is that if the host has everything local, puppet can reconfigure the host to the last known setup. This used to work great, but does not now. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2211: puppet won't install packages if network interface does not have an IP address bound http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2211 Author: jflorian Status: Needs design decision Priority: High Assigned to: luke Category: Target version: 0.25.0 Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.8 Keywords: It is no longer possible to have puppet install packages via yum/rpm if the network interface is not bound to an IP address. Our use case requires using puppet in the non-daemon mode and this is possible for us because the system will have all necessary manifests and other necessary files locally. This worked just fine with 0.24.6 on Fedora 10, but began failing upon the upgrade to 0.24.8. See the attachments for failure messages and a code diff that seems to have introduced the regression. If I revert this one change, things work nicely once again. Looks like a very simple fix if it weren't for the ominous looking comment in the code. :-) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
