Puppet 4 on Debian Jessie amd64

[Richard Wales]

Hi folks,

Apparently PC1 is available on Debian Jessie now. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work. I've attached a vagrant file to facilitate reproduction (remove the .txt extension that I had to add to upload it).

Here are the relevant commands I am running (as per the docs at https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/install_linux.html ):

# wget https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-pc1-jessie.deb

# dpkg -i puppetlabs-release-pc1-jessie.deb

# apt-get update

# apt-get install puppetserver -y # This fails

The bottom line is the new packages aren't available; only the old (puppet 3.7.x packages). Can anyone shed any light? Where am I going wrong guys?

Cheers,

Richard

P.S. Here are some diagnostic commands for the curious:

We have puppet-agent packages available for Debian Jessie, but not
Puppet Server packages[1]. Those should be available with the next
Puppet Server release. So, you can't yet run Debian Jessie as a
master, but you can run it as an agent with the puppet-agent package
against a master on a different platform.

Hi!

I have the same problem. But puppet-agent is not available.

apt-get -y install puppetserver

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 puppetserver : Depends: puppet-agent (>= 1.4.0) but it is not installable

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

sudo apt-get -y install puppet-agent

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Package puppet-agent is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

# uname -a

but here i find packages: http://apt.puppetlabs.com/pool/jessie/PC1/p/puppet-agent/

does anybody know why i cant install them?

Cheers,

Hi Friedhelm,

Have you enabled the PC1 repos?

I can't tell what repos you have enabled or where you got the puppetserver packages you're using, but you'll have to enable the PC1 jessie repo to access puppet-agent.

https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html has a lot more information on that.

As a summary, you'll want to run:

wget http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-pc1-jessie.deb ; dpkg -i puppetlabs-release-pc1-jessie.deb ; apt-get update

You can do a check to make sure you have the puppetlabs PC1 repo enabled by running `apt-cache policy`. You'll get a bunch of output, but the piece you want to make sure is there should be:

 500 http://apt.puppetlabs.com/ jessie/PC1 amd64 Packages

     release o=Puppetlabs,a=jessie,n=jessie,l=Puppetlabs,c=PC1

     origin apt.puppetlabs.com

Once you've verified you have the PC1 repo enabled, apt-get install puppet-agent should just work.

I hope that helps!

Hi!

Yes they enabled according to the guide. I forgot to tell. sorry!

With the policy i found out that i need the arm-packages. Thats because i want to run it on raspberry pi.

 500 http://apt.puppetlabs.com/ jessie/PC1 armhf Packages

     release o=Puppetlabs,a=jessie,n=jessie,l=Puppetlabs,c=PC1

     origin apt.puppetlabs.com

Do you know how to get this stuff via sources?

Thanks!

Ah, that's the issue then. We don't compile or provide sources for ARM, unfortunately. For more information about that, check out https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/CPR-108. We also don't provide sources for the puppet-agent package. You can see some discussion on that at https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/CPR-191.

We have made the automation we use to build the puppet-agent package open source. The two repos you'll want for building puppet-agent are https://github.com/puppetlabs/vanagon and https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet-agent.

I hope that helps!
