Hey all,
Done a bit of googling for this and haven't seen it yet.
I have one of about 120 nodes running the puppetlabs repo version 3.4.1 on
CentOS 6 that has inexplicably started throwing this:
Error: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter ensure failed on
File[/etc/localtime]: Provider must have features 'manages_symlinks' to set
'ensure' to 'link' at /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes/basenode.pp:198
Wrapped exception:
Provider must have features 'manages_symlinks' to set 'ensure' to 'link'
There are four nodes in totality that have the same node definition as this
one, and the other 3 briefly had the same error but upgrading from 3.4.0 to
3.4.1 resolved it. Nevertheless the resource in question is inherited by
every node so I'm at a loss what would break.
The resource is innocuous:
file { "/etc/localtime":
ensure => link,
target => "/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London",
}
FWIW SELinux is disabled and if I comment this resource out it merely fails
on the next ensure => link it comes across.
Debugging offers no clues either that I can see. These manifests haven't
changed in several months and first broke on the following update (enforced
by puppet):
Dec 20 04:36:53 nodename puppet-agent[22052]:
(/Stage[main]/Puppet::Agent/Package[puppet]/ensure) ensure changed
'3.3.2-1.el6' to '0:3.4.0-1.el6'
but as I say even with the official 3.4.1 it's falling flat on its face.
Stopping the daemon, blowing away /var/lib/puppet and reassociating it with
the master and the problem still persists.
Any suggested next steps? Thoughts gratefully appreciated!
Cheers,
Steph
