Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
The current logic is that the script looks for a puppet user, and if that doesn't exist then it creates a puppet user and group. Do you by any chance have a puppet user but no group in NIS? What do you think the script should do here? ** Summary changed: - package puppet-common 2.7.11-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 + puppet-common postinst is confused by NIS ** Changed in: puppet (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to puppet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012649 Title: puppet-common postinst is confused by NIS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/puppet/+bug/1012649/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
