How about an AMI?

[JonY]

Since p-server 3.7 doesn't appear to work on the AWS linux AMI how about creating an AMI that does work?

Such as "the official Puppet Linux"?

I don't think that I'd care for that. After all, Puppet aims at
supporting a large range of platforms, not imposing its own standard.

The whole concept of specialized AMIs seems to be at least a bit
controversial: https://www.exratione.com/2014/08/do-not-use-amazon-linux/

You should be able to use Ubuntu (or CentOS?) on AWS. Puppet should Just
Work on those.

Yep. Keep in mind that there are AMIs for numerous distros:

https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/b/2649367011/ref=gtw_navlft_node_2649367011?page=1&category=2649367011

You happened to try an AMI with the Amazon Linux distro first, for which Puppet Labs doesn't provide packages currently. But if you choose an AMI for one of the distros we *do* have packages for, it should indeed Just Work. I do it all the time. (And yes, CentOS would fit the bill.)

Hope this helps!

In any event I'll try a diff package and see if I get any further.
