Josh Cooper commented on PUP-7252   Re: puppet_mcollective_service_manager acceptance test fails frequently This seems easy to reproduce on ubuntu-16.04, just run the following a few times: root@kifviu8urhamvnv:~# puppet apply -e "service { 'puppet': ensure => 'running' }" && echo "----" && puppet apply -e "service { 'puppet': ensure => 'stopped' }" Notice: Compiled catalog for kifviu8urhamvnv.delivery.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 0.25 seconds Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Service[puppet]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running' Notice: Applied catalog in 0.12 seconds ---- Notice: Run of Puppet already in progress; skipping (/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/state/agent_catalog_run.lock exists) I added some debug statements to get a better idea why puppet apply fails to run: root@kifviu8urhamvnv:~# puppet apply -e "service { 'puppet': ensure => 'running' }" && echo "----" && puppet apply -e "service { 'puppet': ensure => 'stopped' }" Starting application apply pid=17989 Locked pid=17989 Notice: Compiled catalog for kifviu8urhamvnv.delivery.puppetlabs.net in environment production in 0.25 seconds Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Service[puppet]/ensure: ensure changed 'stopped' to 'running' Notice: Applied catalog in 0.13 seconds Unlocked pid=17989 ---- Starting application apply pid=18052 Failed to lock by pid=18052, already locked by pid=18060 Notice: Run of Puppet already in progress; skipping (/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/state/agent_catalog_run.lock exists) The problem will occur anytime the background puppet service is running, and is actively applying a catalog (so it owns the lock), and you try to use puppet apply to stop it.
