had a confusing time tonight trying to debug some systems which were failing 
puppetd -tv -- the error output looked like:

<pre>

[r...@it11p00me-acctsvc001 /var/lib/puppet]# puppetd -tv
info: Retrieving plugin
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources using 
'eval_generate': certificate verify failed
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: 
certificate verify failed Could not retrieve file metadata for
 puppet://puppet/plugins: certificate verify failed
info: Loading facts in locallinks
info: Loading facts in locallinks
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: certificate verify failed
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
</pre>

The cause was that the cert's serial number was in the CRL downloaded from the 
CA - probably due to a misunderstanding on my part of how exactly to issue new 
certificates to hosts whose private keys are lost due to re-imaging.  

But regardless it would be nice to emit some kind of informative error message 
if we find out the local certificate is in the CA's CRL.
