Hi Tom, Fedora 18 is the standard environment for new nodes in my environemnt and I have never had this issue getting puppet to work. Admittedly I have two repos setup, one for fedora 17 with a low priority and one for 18 with normal priority. I was running the fedora 17 repos before they started releasing packages for 18 and still had no issues like the one you describe
How did you setuo your repositories?
