Could not back up /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys: Could not find terminus file for indirection file_bucket_file

[brian lamb]

I have an event failure, one for each user.  They use global facter variables for the keys, im not sure if thats relavant.  

What is terminus, does that insinuate endpoint?  

What is indirection, and file_bucket_file? 

In my implementation of this, i havent seen those keywords yet, however its remotely possible its from residual code from a v3 manifest, since I am in an upgrade.

It is trying to use an old backup mechanism , the way to read the error (not that you should have to understand this, it's terrible) is

Could not load a ruby extension named "file.rb" for the "file_bucket_file" setting.

The shortest fix is to set "File { backup => false }" in your site.pp.
