I now believe this is truly the root of my problem.
The evidence is looking at the ENC output and the Puppet-generated Catalog
file on each of the master puppet servers.
As you can see below, the puppet-generated catalog on the secondary-master
puppet server has put rsyslog::client before rsyslog - this causes the
failure.
However, The Foreman ENC output is the same on both primary and secondary
master puppet servers.
Is this correct, that the yaml file in /var/lib/puppet/yaml/node/ is
exclusively generated by Puppet based on the ENC yaml?
If this is correct, then this is the root of the problem.
The next question is, why does Puppet assemble a catalog with classes out
of order, when the ENC output has them in the correct order?
I have seen two answers to this question of classes getting out of order in
the puppet catalog:
1. one class 'cA' depends on 'cB', so puppet puts 'cB' first in the
catalog. - but this is not the reason in my case.
2. "... If you do not see the error on every run then it is modulated by
something that varies between runs. That could be almost anything:
manifests, data, results of function calls, node facts, or ENC output. ..."
- which should be unlikely since it works on one secondary master and not
the next secondary master, both configured exactly the same.
Is there a configuration issue causing this issue? Where would I begin
looking for something that may be causing this puppet-catalog problem?
Running `puppet agent -t` on the client against the primary master puppet
server is successful
Running `puppet agent -t` on the client against the secondary master puppet
server fails with duplicate declaration
