Couldn't sent report to puppet master : State.yaml corrupted

[Jean-Marie Magnier]

Hi,

On some AIX server I receive error message during communication processus during first synchronisation and then puppet will not synchronsize.

Console message :

err: Could not send report: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not intern from yaml: syntax error on line 6279, col 14: `    !binary ? "RmlsZVsvdXNyL2xvY2FsL3NoYXJlL294eS9yZWZfb3B0aW9uYWwvT3JhY2xl\nREIxMWcvc2NyaXB0L2NyZWF0ZWRiL2luaXR0ZWh/f390ZWNoMDIub3JhXQ==\n"'

I also finded  file /var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml and state.yaml.bad with the same content.

If I delete this two file, puppet client synchronise only one time with the same incident.

Versionning :

pup-facter-1.6.3-1.puppet.local

pup-puppet-conf-0.1-1.local

pup-ruby-1.8.7-p352.1.32.puppet.local

pup-zlib-1.2.5-1.32.puppet.local

pup-openssl-1.0.0m-2.32.puppet.local

pup-puppet-2.7.21-2.local

Do you have some ideas to help troubleshooting ? I don't know from where to start debugging.

Thanks for your help
