Did you have a version of Puppet on this system previously?  This definitely seems like a bug, but it seems like one that only manifests if there's some other copy of Puppet that is also being loaded along with the version you expect.

There was a puppet 2.6.8 before and it was failing horribly with all kind of ruby file missing. 

So I installed this version using gem. Now I removed gem version puppet to get the puppet 2.6.8 back

Now puppet version works again

$ puppet --version

2.6.8

But it does not help with this manifest

What version(s) of facter are you running? Perhaps you have multiple
installed here as well? It seems strange that the trace you posted
references two distinct library paths,
e.g.
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/facter and /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/facter

 $ facter --version

1.5.8

[Matthaus Owens]

It looks to me as if there are at least two facters installed. One was
likely installed using install.rb (probably the one in
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby), and another was installed using the package
manager. Can you post the output of both `dpkg -S facter` and `dpkg -l
facter`? That will show which was installed via source and which one
was installed using apt.

I did some clean up. Now I have only one version of puppet and facter.

It still seems like you could have stale files.

Could you verify there are no stale files by pasting the output of this command?

ruby -r puppet -e 'puts %w{ puppet facter }.collect {|d| $LOAD_PATH.collect {|l| { l => Dir["#{l}/#{d}/**.rb"] }}}.to_yaml'

This will locate all of the puppet and facter libraries that are present along the ruby load path.

Thanks,

yep, It does look like I have two different ruby

 

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby

and

/usr/lib/ruby

the /usr/local/ one does not match to any ubuntu apt. I can remove that if necessary.

Not necessarily, these are just all of the directories a single ruby executable will look to when trying to load *.rb files using the 'require' statement.

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby

Looking at the output you pasted, it doesn't look like Puppet is anywhere on your system except inside of /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/

I do have a minor typo though.  The command is only searching the top level of the Puppet tree, not all subdirectories.  Could you try this final command to verify there's only one copy of Puppet and Facter?

ruby -r puppet -e 'puts %w{ puppet facter }.collect {|d| $LOAD_PATH.collect {|l| { l => Dir["#{l}/#{d}/**/*.rb"] }}}.to_yaml'

(Note the /**/*.rb instead of the plain /*.rb)

OK, this definitely looks like a problem with Puppet.

Could you add --trace and --evaltrace to whatever command you're executing that gives the error, then paste the command and the output?

Thanks,

Here is another simple one

 # puppet apply --trace --evaltrace -e 'user {"dummy": ensure => present}'

These definitely seem like bugs. Could you please file a bug report
at http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/issues/new with
these links, or copies of them in the ticket? If you add me as a
watcher, I'll try my best to get this resolved as quickly as we can.
It seems similar to #13429, but not the exact same problem.

Thanks,
-Jeff

[Asif Iqbal]

submitted it in the bug and assigned it to you. 

thanks a lot for your help.

Great, thank you for taking the time to do this. We'll do our best to
fix this for the Puppet 3.0.2 release, but we may have to revisit this
issue for Puppet 3.0.3. If you haven't seen much traction on this
issue, please update the ticket with a request for a status update.

Thanks,
-Jeff
