Hi Guys,

I am running puppet server version 3.0.2-1 and now have a need to support CentOS/RHEL 7.x as a agent. I got puppet rpms built but when I try to install it on the client I am running into some ruby related errors:

--
# yum localinstall ../RPMS/noarch/puppet-3.0.2-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I do have ruby installed on this server already:

--
# rpm -qa | grep -i ^ruby
rubygems-2.0.14-25.el7_1.noarch
ruby-libs-2.0.0.598-25.el7_1.x86_64

ruby-augeas-0.4.1-3.el7.x86_64

Is there something I am missing here? Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Hi,
Is this a correct version?
The release notes show support from version 3.5

I believe you need at least 3.5 to support systemd.. i think we went with 3.6 at the time.

Thanks for the replies. So since my puppet server is still at 3.0.x and the client requires at least 3.5 due to CentOS would that be supported? I think the puppet agent can't be newer than the server. I don't want to upgrade my server version and if this is true then looks like will have to spin up a new puppet server for CentOS.

Regards
