** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ puppet crashes if one tries to create/ensure symlinks via a puppet
+ manifest. I believe this is an feature broadly used by our users.
+
+ [Test Plan]
+
+ $ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:jammy puppet-test
+ $ lxc shell puppet-test
+ # apt update && apt install -y puppet
+ # cat <<EOF > hellopuppet.pp

+ target => '/etc/motd',
+ }

+ # puppet apply hellopuppet.pp

+ Error: /Stage[main]/Main/File[/tmp/link-to-motd]/ensure: change from 'absent'
to 'link' failed: Could not set 'link' on ensure: wrong number of arguments
(given 3, expected 2) (file: /home/ubuntu/hellopuppet.pp, line: 1)
+ Notice: Applied catalog in 0.02 seconds
+
+ With the proposed fix the crash should not happen and the link created.
+
+ [Where problems could occur]
+
+ The risk of the patch introduce a bug is quite low, what might happen is
+ some more occurrences of this issue throughout the codebase. I went
+ through upstream git repo and issue tracker and I think this is enough.
+
+ [Original description]

Hi,
the puppet package that comes with ubuntu 22.04 is not completely
working under ubuntu 22.04, since it is (outdated) puppet 5 which is not
compatible with ruby versions above ruby 2.7, where ubuntu 22.04 comes
with ruby 3.
+ The problem seems to be just a minor problem, it can't set logical links

The bug is known and discussed in upstream debian under
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1009643
but they do believe that it is not worth wasting time to fix that old
version and rather update to puppet 7.
+ From what they tell, it takes at least puppet 7.8 to run under ruby 3.
