Title: Message Title

Tobias Wolter created an issue   Puppet / PUP-9935 service_provider for debian wrong on buster Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 6.7.2 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Catalog Application Created: 2019/08/01 6:00 AM Labels: debian Priority: Major Reporter: Tobias Wolter Puppet Version: 6.7.2 Puppet Server Version: n/a OS Name/Version: Debian 10 Services cannot be managed correctly on Debian buster because the `service_provider` code does not consider buster a systemd distribution. Desired Behavior: Puppet using systemd. Actual Behavior: ``` Debug: Executing: '/usr/sbin/service puppet status' dpkg: error: --compare-versions takes three arguments: <version> <relation> <version> Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use 'apt' or 'aptitude' for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through 'less' or 'more' ! Debug: Executing: '/usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f puppet remove' Debug: Executing: '/usr/sbin/update-rc.d puppet stop 00 1 2 3 4 5 6 .' Error: Execution of '/usr/sbin/update-rc.d puppet stop 00 1 2 3 4 5 6 .' returned 1: update-rc.d: error: unable to read /etc/init.d/puppet Error: /Stage[main]/Profile::Base/Service[puppet]/enable: change from 'true' to 'false' failed: Execution of '/usr/sbin/update-rc.d puppet stop 00 1 2 3 4 5 6 .' returned 1: update-rc.d: error: unable to read /etc/init.d/puppet ``` The cause is following code in `/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/service/systemd.rb`: defaultfor :operatingsystem => :debian, :operatingsystemmajrelease => ["8", "stretch/sid", "9", "buster/sid"] This should not be a whitelist anymore. IMHO, it should be set as the Debian default, especially as PE 2018.1, as the oldest still supported version, has a minimum OS requirement of Debian 8 ('jessie') for the agent, which is a systemd distribution.
