Nick,

This is not looking promising .. dapper is on ruby 1.8.4, and the
nearest ubuntu version that could get me up to ruby 1.8.5 is feisty ..

So, I modified apt preferences, to try and pull in the right versions of
ruby from feisty (had to do the same for puppet and facter) .. However,
the major show-stopper in this direction is glibc ...

I need glibc >= 2.5, but the highest possible for dapper (without
risking bricking the system) is glibc 2.3.6 ...

Can http://rvm.io build a "local" ruby for you on that system?


Regards, D.


So, I am afraid this is a no go .. Thanks for the insight you have provided.

best regards ..

    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
    <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.

        Hi,

        I have a client that I cannot upgrade from ubuntu 6.06 (due to
        application dependency issues) ... I have been able to get
        puppet/facter installed on it, but it seems unable to make
        certificate requests ..

        ============
        #/usr/sbin/puppetd -d -t -v
        err: No certificate; running with reduced functionality.

        err: Could not request certificate: Certificate retrieval
        failed: HTTP-Error: 400 Bad Request
        ==================

        I have seem a few admonitions against using clients that are
        old, but I have no choice in this one if I hope to deploy puppet
        on it .. or are there work arounds I can attempt ?
