Invalid Option --port=8140

[Mark Gardner]

I'm upgrading puppet from 3.3.1 to 3.6.2 on Suse Linux Enterprise 11 SP3

The puppet service wont start with this error collected error from /var/log/puppet/puppet.conf
Fri Aug 15 13:12:35 -0500 2014 Puppet (err): Could not parse application options: invalid option: --port=8140

It looks to me that the init script needs to be changed to use masterport instead of port.   I'm not sure that it's something that needs to be changed in the file or something that needs to be fixed in the spec file?

Holy monkey. Are those the packages that SuSE provides?

In upstream puppet, there *never* was a --port option. That was likely a
vendor patch then. Whee. What fun.

I suppose you kept your old initscript during the package update (as you
do), so that it didn't notice that this particular patch was reverted
for the current version?

I'm guessing wildly here, but it would at least make sense. Have you
checked the package's change log?

Cheers,
