When I fool puppet into thinking that Yakkety is version 16.04, it works. Here's what I did in a Yakkety container:
# upstart is required to confuse Puppet apt-get install -y puppet upstart tftpd-hpa # note: puppet-common is gone # fails puppet apply -e "service { 'tftpd-hpa': ensure => stopped }" # fool puppet into thinking that Yakkety is version 16.04 sed -i 's/DISTRIB_RELEASE=.*/DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04/' /etc/lsb-release # works puppet apply -e "service { 'tftpd-hpa': ensure => stopped }" -- 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
