I was just hunting down a really nasty dependency problem, which could
only be found by this patch:

I'm currently on the road and thus cannot provide a proper ticket :-(

And in fact, we already have a ticket for this. :) The fix has already
been merged and will appear in the next version (which will be
released in a few days):

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetdb/pull/267

The patch should apply cleanly to your terminus if you need it
beforehand, and if it doesn't let us know and we can craft a patch for
you that works!
