This is driving me mad.
I get this error on two OpenSuse 12.3 nodes
puppet-3.0.2-2.9.1.x86_64
facter-1.6.17-2.1.1.x86_64

I ran this command:
sudo puppet agent -t --verbose --noop --debug --trace

and I get this ouput:

I'm sure its on the server, but I'm not exactly sure where to look because i get the same error in the server logs. I checked the firewall and it goes through, I don't know enough arout ruby to hunt down a pson error, but what what it looks like there is a syntax error somewhere? Anyone have any ideas?

I have found the issue, its with the stdlib module both version 3.2.1 and 4.x with puppet 2.6.18 and facter 1.5.2.1 on SLES 11.x. I tried both versions and removed them both and got normal function back to puppet 3.4.3 after they were removed. Only took 3 days of troubleshooting.... but the good part is that I was able to fully setup a functioning puppet-dashboard! (because I thought it was a foreman 1.4 issue)
SLES can be such a pain the buttocks.
