puppet-agent source package for debian

[Jacob Larsen]

I have been trying to install puppet 4 (master) on a Raspberry Pi 2 with raspbian.

It seems that even though the repository at apt.puppetlabs.com defines the armhf architecture then the package named puppet-agent is not available for this architecture. This means that the package named puppetserver is not installable:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 puppetserver : Depends: puppet-agent but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


If this package had a source package associated then that error would have been easy to solve via apt-get source + dpkg-buildpackage. Why does it not have a source package? The .debs are built somehow, which means that the contents of the source package should already be available.

Any suggestions for getting this running with the latest stable puppet release?

I second that. There are no puppet-agent package for the SUSE/OpenSUSE
family and I couldn't find a spec file or anything related on how the
RPMs are built.

For SuSE, there is an OBS tree for it. Mind you, it isn’t the most up to date repo, since the build of puppet in the tree is 3.7.x.
