Could not autoload puppet/provider/apt_key/apt_key

[Denny Fuchs]

Hello,

because of Bookworm and apt-key, we have to upgrade apt and stdlib on our Puppet6 Server. I've get on all nodes with Debian Buster:

Error: Could not autoload puppet/provider/apt_key/apt_key: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/newmod/modules/apt/lib/puppet/provider/apt_key/apt_key.rb:100: syntax error, unexpected ']'

any idea, what happens ? I've tried also

 puppet generate types --environment ...

but without success ...

any suggestions ?

Hi,

it seems, we have to upgrade to Puppet7. The error is gone, with this version.

The error occurs because the module is using Ruby 2.6 syntax (such as endless ranges) but Puppet 6 vendors Ruby 2.5.
