Urr, I spoke too soon. It's working on some servers, not others. For
instance on another I get:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:
Duplicate declaration: Class[Pe_compliance::Agent] is already declared;
cannot redeclare at
/opt/puppet/share/puppet/modules/pe_compliance/manifests/init.pp:15 on node
blah
I've re-built the server to try and eliminate any catalog caching issues
(not that I've ever seen any), no luck.
