I have seen that error when the puppetmaster is upgraded but the puppet client is not. For instance, we went from 0.24.x to 0.25.4 and started receiving this error on clients that were still 0.24.x. They are not compatible, so as mentioned in another reply you need to upgrade. Keeping all servers/clients the same version is not a bad idea. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
