puppet time stamp check

[Lunixer]

Greetings,

I have an entry for a file in a puppet manifest that checks file properties.

/etc/puppet/modules/Linux/manifests/init.pp
file {"/etc/ld.so.conf": mode=>"644", owner=>"root", group=>"root", checksum=>"md5", audit=>all; }

An admin patched the server and several file checksums changed. Now the puppet client keeps sending messages like the one below.

Tue Jul 22 20:25:15 -0700 2014 /Stage[main]/Linux/File[/etc/ld.so.conf]/ctime (notice): audit change: previously recorded value Wed Aug 21 14:52:17 -0700 2013 has been changed to Tue Jul 22 20:25:10 -0700 2014

I was just given this task to solve but don't have much puppet knowledge.
I could not find much information by searching the web except for some bug related threads.
Could you advice me how to fix that?

Adding this for informational purposes.
This problem was related to the one I posted in another thread. The fix is below.

Blank the file.
#  cp /dev/null /var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml

Run the agent.

# /opt/puppet/bin/puppet agent --test
