You're in a gnarly situation. DistroWatch is telling me that you're probably running Ruby 1.8.4, which, damn.
I think your best bet is: * Find or build a newer Ruby, preferably 1.8.7. * Either install Puppet from source (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/from_source.html) or force apt to install a Puppet package meant for a newer distro. I... THINK the packages from the Puppet Labs repo ought to limp along just fine if the Ruby is new enough, but I've never heard of it being tried with Dapper. Good luck with that.
