Issue #20897 has been updated by Francois Deppierraz.
For the record, I got the same issue that Bob Maerten after upgrading a puppetmaster from Debian squeeze to Debian wheezy with puppetlabs provided packages. This is how I was able to solve it if the system locales are already correctly configured. <pre> francois@puppet:/etc/apache2$ cat /etc/default/locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 francois@puppet:/etc/apache2$ diff -u envvars.orig envvars --- envvars.orig 2013-07-29 14:55:43.000000000 +0200 +++ envvars 2013-07-29 14:54:59.000000000 +0200 @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ ## The locale used by some modules like mod_dav export LANG=C ## Uncomment the following line to use the system default locale instead: -#. /etc/default/locale +. /etc/default/locale export LANG francois@puppet:/etc/apache2$ </pre> ---------------------------------------- Bug #20897: puppet agents complain about master not-being UTF-8 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20897#change-95598 * Author: Bob Maerten * Status: Needs More Information * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Bob Maerten * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: * Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1666 ---------------------------------------- I had this error after updating to 3.2.1 when I tried to fetch catalog from agents Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII My config is Debian based, with packages installed from puppetlab repo. PuppetMaster is served through puppetmaster-passenger. I managed to get it working back by adding these lines to my config.ru: Encoding.default_external = Encoding::UTF_8 Encoding.default_internal = Encoding::UTF_8 and my agents went back to normal behavior. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
