puppet module list error: Error: No source module metadata provided for mcollective

[Puppet Muppet]

Hi,

I'm new to Puppet and having some trouble running the following commands on my Puppet Server.

#puppet module list 

or

#puppet module install puppetlabs/apt

I get the following error.

Notice: Preparing to install into /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules ...

Error: No source module metadata provided for mcollective

Error: Try 'puppet help module install' for usage

The version I am running is Puppet v3.3.1 (Puppet Enterprise 3.1.0)

Would you be able to point me in the right direction please.

Many thanks!

Hi!

I'm afraid this was mostly my fault, we released a version of mcollective without some needed metadata and recently changes made this more problematic than it used to be.  I've uploaded a new release so you should be able to fix this with:

puppet module uninstall puppetlabs-mcollective

puppet module install puppetlabs-mcollective

If the uninstall step doesn't work, just rm -rf /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/mcollective altogether to force the issue.  After this is done you should have v1.1.3 and things should work better!
