apt.puppetlabs.com for Debian Lenny is broken ?

[Hien Phan]

Hello list,

I try to install puppet agent on Debian Lenny. I got following error.
Seems the repo is broken :

I just answered it in another thread :)

Install the Lenny Backports Repository, install puppet from there to bring all dependencies and then install it again from puppetlabs. Lenny is a mess :)

apt-get -t lenny-backports install -y puppet
apt-get -t puppetlabs install -y puppet

and the backports repo if you don't have:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports main
