I just ran into this issue this afternoon on my own servers. The issue is definitely related to the ec2.rb changes in facter 1.5.6-2ubuntu2.2. As a temporary hack/workaround I was able to get Puppet working again by manually editing /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/facter/ec2.rb and reverting the "can_connect?" method to use the code for that method defined in the previous version of the page. Specifically, see below the commented "new" version of the method and my inserted "old" version of the method.
# This version of the method causes timeouts even if your machine is not using EC2 #def can_connect?(ip,port,wait_sec=2) # url = "http://#{ip}:#{port}"; # Timeout::timeout(wait_sec) {open(url)} # return true #rescue # return false #end # This version of the method seems to work, although I can't guarantee it works with EC2 # as my servers are not running there def can_connect?(ip,port,wait_sec=2) Timeout::timeout(wait_sec) {open(ip, port)} return true rescue return false end -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885998 Title: facter upgrade crashes puppet To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/puppet/+bug/885998/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
