The mere presence of ruby-activerecord-deprecated-finders on the system should not impact foreman. What kind of problems did you encounter? > At the end I had to add a Conflicts line, so at the moment Foreman would > only work with Puppetlabs packages if installed on the same host as the > Puppet master. You could add a Conflicts: ruby-activerecord-deprecated-finders, which would still allow puppet from Debian proper to be installed (since ruby-ar-d-f is only a Recommends). Still, conflicting with other packages should be avoided altogether if there's a better way to handle the issue. Note that even if we do turn this into a Suggests, you should still make sure that either foreman is compatible with the gem, or the gem is not installed at all (it may have been installed manually). > It should also be noted that (AFAIK) storeconfig was deprecated in > Puppet 3 and it's use strongly discouraged. This has been previously discussed. In short, it's no pretty situation, but we either have to support this, or break the upgrade path for many setups and ask that people install activerecord 3 from rubygems.org on their systems. If we can do the former without causing too much trouble, IMHO we should do it. > I do see the point that > PuppetDB is not yet packaged as debian.org package, but Recommending a > decreated package is introducing also some problems. The package itself is not deprecated by any means. It's part of the Debian archive and there's no reason to not Recommend it if it's needed. > This should IMHO be shifted to a Suggests (and from the Foreman POV > I'd like to see that in > the first jessie release as Foreman would have to depend on Puppetlabs > packages otherwise). Yes, this could be done. The case for Recommends was that installing just another gem to the system wouldn't harm. But if it causes that much trouble, we could move it to a Suggests and rely on a NEWS entry to have people install it by hand if needed.
