G'day. We are running into a regular problem, which I can't track down, where puppetmaster will simply stop responding appropriately to clients.
I have exhausted my ideas for debugging this, so I turn to y'all for advice on where next to look in terms of tracking down and killing the root of these issues. The errors, on the client side, are roughly: Mar 12 16:15:27 amhocn04 puppetd[17153]: Could not call puppetmaster.getconfig: #<NoMethodError: private method `split' called for nil:NilClass> Mar 12 16:15:27 amhocn04 puppetd[17153]: Could not retrieve catalog: private method `split' called for nil:NilClass Mar 12 16:15:27 amhocn04 puppetd[17153]: (//Node[default]/apt/Apt::Key[backports.org]/Exec[/usr/bin/apt-key add /etc/apt/backports.org.key]) Dependency file[/etc/apt/backports.org.key] has 1 failures Mar 12 16:15:27 amhocn04 puppetd[17153]: (//Node[default]/apt/Apt::Key[backports.org]/Exec[/usr/bin/apt-key add /etc/apt/backports.org.key]) Skipping because of failed dependencies [... and so forth for the rest of the cached config ...] On the server side, nothing. Specifically, no errors in the rails related logs, no errors in syslog, nothing useful shows up when running puppetmaster with debug enabled, etc. So, hints? It seems to be that the puppetmaster either refuses connections part way through the transaction, or that something gets significantly out of sync. Both ends are running puppet{,master} 0.24.5-3~sd-backport-1, which is our backport of the 0.24.5 puppet release on Debian etch.
