The immediate problem appears to be that Puppet is complaining about invalid character data, presumably in the catalog itself. It is attempting to interpret a piece of data as if it were text encoded according to UTF-16LE, but the data contain an invalid byte sequence with respect to that encoding (in particular, it looks like there is an unpaired surrogate). Clearly something has gone wrong, more likely in your manifests than in Puppet itself, but we don't have enough information to pinpoint what that is. As others have suggested, obtaining the --debug output from an agent run would probably help clarify. You could also consider searching your manifests (on the master) for the two-byte sequence Puppet complains about (represented as \xF8\xDD) or for the 3-byte UTF-8 encoding of that surrogate code point (\xED\xB7\xB8). Perhaps look for the byte-swapped version, too: \xDD\xF8 and \xEF\xA3\x9D. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
