I know this thread is kinda old, but i had the same issue and maybe someone still getting it, so i found a way to still working.
As Gerard said, this comes when puppet is installed for ruby 1.8 and you are running 1.9. I tried to update-alternatives and set it to 1.8, but it still crashing, reinstall whole ruby, install only 1.8, and still crashing, so i directly went to /usr/bin/puppet, and in the first lane: - #!/usr/bin/ruby1.9.1 + #!/usr/bin/ruby1.8 Apparently, it works fine, i didn't get further problems with this. Sorry if i wrote something wrong. Cheers -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
