Jira (PUP-1639) Some modules fail to install into target_dir

[Rob Nelson (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Rob Nelson commented on an issue   Re: Some modules fail to install into target_dir I have this issue with one puppetmaster running puppet 3.4.2 and CentOS 6.5 (Final). Another puppetmaster with the same puppet and CentOS versions has no problems with installing modules from the forge. I checked /var/lib/puppet/puppet-module/cache and see that there the file the default.yml file points to is part of the tarball it has downloaded. I can extract the files manually so I know the tar command and file itself are valid. It seems like it's skipping some files when unpacking the tarball. I am attaching the diff of the nodesets files that are extracted by me and by puppet, and an strace of the puppet module install output (it doesn't matter what environment I use). It appears to be happening with modules that include symlinks in testing directories. I don't know if this is the only commonality, but it was one I could easily identify: puppetlabs-ntp: no symlinks puppetlabs-mysql: symlinks puppetlabs-firewall: symlinks puppetlabs-apache: symlinks [root@puppet modules]# find . -type l -exec ls -l {} \; lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Feb 15 16:26 ./firewall/spec/acceptance/nodesets/default.yml -> centos-64-x64.yml lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 49 Feb 18 20:53 ./mysql/spec/fixtures/modules/mysql -> /Users/hunner/Documents/work/git/puppetlabs-mysql lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Feb 18 20:56 ./apache/spec/acceptance/nodesets/default.yml -> centos-64-x64.yml (no idea what's wrong with the mysql package, can't believe that would ever work but the others do if I untar them myself) Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-1639 Some modules fail to install into target_dir puppet module install puppetlabs/apache -i puppet/forge-modules Notice: Preparing to install into /home/www/puppet/forge-modules ...
