To get rid of this error you have to build the puppet from ports on the freebsd client host and uncheck the PACKAGE_ORIGIN option. I don't pretend to understand why. cd /usr/ports/sysutils/puppet ; make install # cat /var/db/ports/puppet/options # This file is auto-generated by 'make config'. # No user-servicable parts inside! # Options for puppet-2.7.12 _OPTIONS_READ=puppet-2.7.12 WITHOUT_MONGREL=true WITHOUT_PACKAGE_ORIGIN=true WITHOUT_PACKAGE_ROOT=true The below package stanza looks correct. -dkw > > So instead I tried listing the full port name even with the provider: > > package { '.*/databases/mytop': > > ensure => installed, > > provider => freebsd, > > } > > > > Now it is giving me this message: *puppet-agent[3232]: (/Stage[main]//Node[* > *###########**]/Package[.*/databases/mytop]/ensure) change from absent to > present failed: Could not fetch ports INDEX: 500 Illegal PORT range > rejected.* > > Even with specifiying a source: > ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.0-release/ I don't > seem to be getting very far! > > Here is a print out of the debug log: > > debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderFreebsd: Executing > > '/usr/sbin/pkg_info -aoQ' > > debug: Package: .*/databases/mytop: origin => {:port_name=>"mytop", > > :port_category=>"databases"} > > debug: Package: .*/databases/mytop: source => #<URI::FTP:0x29869038 > > URL:ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.0-release/> > > debug: Fetching INDEX: #<URI::FTP:0x298684e4 > > URL:ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9.0-release/INDEX.bz2> > > err: > > /Stage[main]//Node[boomer.sov.m-w.co.uk]/Package[.*/databases/mytop]/ensure: > > > > change from absent to present failed: Could not fetch ports INDEX: 500 > > Illegal PORT range rejected. > > > > Some odd behaviour I've noticed as well, when packages are already > installed it doesn't seem to register as them being there. > > Looking for information about puppet on FreeBSD is like trying to find a > needle in a haystack.
