Public bug reported: The puppetmaster package if installed from apt drags down puppet. This is not only unnecessary but it borks the permissions of /var/lib/puppet... to the package maintainer:
puppetd runs as root because it does the actual changing of config files puppetmasterd runs as user puppet because there is no need for this daemon to have root privileges, it just needs to read some data to pass to the clients (puppets). I guess puppet used to behave differently prior to this release, but this package looks to be a little messed up here... ** Affects: puppet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- puppetmaster package depends on puppet, wrong behavior https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271500 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
