Bug 547378 – app-admin/puppet-4.0.0: Wrong destination directories

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Pascal Jufer 2015-04-22 09:34:35 UTC]

Since the new puppet system confdir is /etc/puppetlabs/puppet instead of /etc/puppet, the path in the ebuild should be adjusted accordingly.

At the moment the agent won't start:

$ /etc/init.d/puppet start
 * Caching service dependencies ...    [ ok ]
 * Starting puppet ...
 * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/bin/puppet'
 * Failed to start puppet              [ !! ]
 * ERROR: puppet failed to start

$ tail -n 1 /var/log/syslog/puppet-agent.log 
Apr 22 11:28:29 local puppet-agent[31649]: Could not prepare for execution: Got 4 failure(s) while initializing: File[/etc/puppetlabs/puppet]: change from absent to directory failed: Cannot create /etc/puppetlabs/puppet; parent directory /etc/puppetlabs does not exist; File[/etc/puppetlabs/code]: change from absent to directory failed: Cannot create /etc/puppetlabs/code; parent directory /etc/puppetlabs does not exist; File[/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache]: change from absent to directory failed: Cannot create /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache; parent directory /opt/puppetlabs/puppet does not exist; File[/var/log/puppetlabs/puppet]: change from absent to directory failed: Cannot create /var/log/puppetlabs/puppet; parent directory /var/log/puppetlabs does not exist


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install puppet-4.0
2. Start the daemon
Actual Results:  
The agent won't start due to the missing confdir.

Expected Results:  
The agent should start initially without any errors.

Just noticed not only the condir but also the bindir has been changed to /opt/puppetlabs/bin/.
