/etc/init.d/puppet and /etc/init.d/puppetmaster do not start their applications if there are other, possibly unrelated ruby processes running on the system. This is due to the --exec switch in start-stop-daemon: start-stop-daemons only checks if there are *any* processes running with /usr/bin/ruby in their command line.

Could you please confirm that this is about app-admin/puppet-0.24.4 or both versions currently in the tree?
We tested with 0.24.5, but looking at the ebuilds I assume 0.24.4 is affected as well.
fixed in cvs puppet-0.24.5-r1. thanks.
Use the original patch I submitted upstream - it worked just fine on both baselayout-1 and 2. #218071
