Issue #2211 has been updated by Michael Scherer.

I can replicate this when puppet is run for some time ( restarting usually make 
the problem disappear, but it come back later ). I run it on 2 mandriva 2010.2 
server, one in a vm, another one on a quite loaded server ( iso creation ). 
On one of the server that I tried to inspect, there was 2 puppet process, one 
of them being waiting on exec('hostname') to return.


    # rpm -q puppet facter
    puppet-2.6.2-1mdv2010.1
    facter-1.5.7-1mdv2010.0

I can update to latest stable release if needed.

Bug #2211: Facter timeouts reap all subprocesses thus confusing Puppet
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2211

Author: John Florian
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee: Markus Roberts
Category: library
Target version: 1.6.0
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.8
Keywords: 
Branch: 
Affected Facter version: 


It is no longer possible to have puppet install packages via yum/rpm if the 
network interface is not bound to an IP address.  Our use case requires using 
puppet in the non-daemon mode and this is possible for us because the system 
will have all necessary manifests and other necessary files locally.  This 
worked just fine with 0.24.6 on Fedora 10, but began failing upon the upgrade 
to 0.24.8.

See the attachments for failure messages and a code diff that seems to have 
introduced the regression.  If I revert this one change, things work nicely 
once again.  Looks like a very simple fix if it weren't for the ominous looking 
comment in the code. :-)
