Debian jessie, puppetlabs dist-upgrade problem

[Mike R.]

Using wheezy or unstable puppetlabs release, dist-upgrade wants to remove puppet and puppet-common to upgrade libruby. Anyone seen this?

Hi,

I had the same problem. I installed older package version using the alternatives proposed by aptitude.

Hope it helps

Best regards

This is probably because the default ruby used to provide
libxmlrpc-ruby and libopenssl-ruby*/ruby-openssl, but the rubies
available in jessie do not. Because puppet depends on both of those
packages, the upgrade does not succeed because apt can't find the
needed dependencies. This has been fixed in master in commit
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/commit/b6514b8dfe92a1e66c086fe1f45e5e7261bd45fb,
but it has not yet been released. It should be released in Puppet
3.6.0.
