Issue #22848 has been updated by Dara Adib.
I see the same error in Debian wheezy (Ruby 1.9.3, Puppet 3.3.1, package provider apt/aptitude/dpkg), probably also because of non-ASCII characters in package descriptions. See Debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=724645 e.g., Could not prefetch package provider 'apt': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII Could not prefetch package provider 'aptitude': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII ---------------------------------------- Bug #22848: Encoding bug in Puppet 3.3.1 when using Ruby 1.9.3 (and above) https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/22848#change-99274 * Author: Jos Backus * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: High * Assignee: * Category: ruby19 * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 3.3.1 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- One of our RPM packages has some UTF-8 characters in its description, leading to an exception ("Error: Could not prefetch package provider 'yum': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII") in rpm.rb, causing no packages to be upgraded as the yumhelper.py invocation code raises that error. Priority=High because it breaks file { ensure => latest; }. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
