I've tested the diff in #4 on Ubuntu 16.04, with puppet-common 3.8.5-2, it seems to fix the issue correctly.
Prior to the patch, Puppet would try and manage services using upstart: /Stage[main]/Tftp::Service/Service[tftpd-hpa]: Could not evaluate: Execution of '/sbin/status tftpd-hpa' returned 1: status: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1570472 Title: Set systemd as default service provider To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/puppet/+bug/1570472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
