Error on puppet restarting

[Juan G. Narvaez]

Hello group!

I was working with puppetmaster 0.24 but I try to install the 2.6 version from source; that work fine but I can't revert the installation. I want to revert to 0.24 because I have more that 100 host with 0.24 clients.

I run Debian 5 "Lenny". This is the error:

I have basic understanding about Ruby and some years working with linux, so I understand technical language.

Greetings.
