Interesting, I've noticed that puppet runs triggered from a daemonised puppetd aren't affected by the problem (as Dashboard and /var/log/ messages says their is no errors), but when run from the command line as puppetd --test it fails as usual for me:
err: /Stage[main]/Fh_freetds/Exec[change /etc/freetds.conf version]: Could not evaluate: 'grep' is not executable Can't spot any difference in the environments so far.
