Hi, Ubuntu Lucid has a very outdated puppet, 0.25.4
according to: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html#for-debian-and-ubuntu I did this to "enable the repository": wget http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release_1.0-3_all.deb sudo dpkg -i puppetlabs-release_1.0-3_all.deb but this still does not result in installing an up to date puppet apt-get remove puppet apt-get install puppet Setting up puppet (0.25.4-2ubuntu6.7) . I tried installing via gems: sudo gem install puppet which does give: Successfully installed puppet-2.7.14 but /usr/bin/puppet -V still gives 0.25.4 If I apt-get remove puppet then there is no longer a /usr/bin/puppet at all and there is no puppet on my path. I find something on a pastebin somewhere: /bin/ln -s /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/puppet /usr/bin/puppet but surely this can't be the recommended way to install. or am I supposed to have /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/ on my path ? gems was installed with: apt-get install rubygems Obviously I'm not a ruby person, and I've just read the rubygems docs regarding versions and why its not on the path. ("onerous") But how is puppet supposed to use it, what is recommended practice ? I don't want it on MY path since it won't be my user running the puppet agent. Its already tedious installing puppet on each server in this fashion. thanks for any advice ! http://pastebin.com/UGqdE7rL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
