Can you provide some more information - logs (--trace --debug) and Gentoo version etc please? ---------------------------------------- Bug #3350: Could not find a default provider for cron error prevents entire puppetd run http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3350 Author: Mr Paxos Status: Needs more information Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: cron Target version: Affected version: 0.25.4 Keywords: cron Branch: While running puppetd on a gentoo box without any cron packages installed, puppetd stops with the following error: <pre> debug: Puppet::Type::Cron::ProviderCrontab: file crontab does not exist err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find a default provider for cron </pre> However, all cron references in my configs require->Service["vixie-cron"] which itself has a require->Package["vixie-cron"] I would expect the vixie-cron package to be installed, service started and things to move along. Or, all other puppet types that do not depend on the failed cron to be applied. However, puppetd stops dead in its tracks on this error. If I manually install vixie-cron, and run puppetd again, all works according to plan. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
