The PuppetDB 1.6.0 RPMs for Fedora are currently broken and have been pulled from the Fedora repos. We are working on a 1.6.1 release this week that will include a fix for the packaging issue causing the failure. We have also received reports of rebuilt SRPMs on other platforms having issues. Users on Fedora should stick to 1.5.2 until PuppetDB 1.6.1 is released. More details on the issue are below.
The issue was originally found and documented here: https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PDB-377 (thanks John!). Part of the Fedora RPM packaging process includes cracking open the PuppetDB binary JAR file and manipulating some of the code included in it. The manipulation of these class files rendered the JAR broken in subtle ways. The feature of unpacking/repacking the JAR is mainly useful for JVM code that wants to take advantage of native libraries. Since PuppetDB doesn't use native dependencies, that feature of the packaging process doesn't provide any value. Disabling it has fixed the issue. The binary RPMs on other platforms (i.e. Debian/Ubuntu/RHEL/CentOS) did not suffer from this issue. -Ryan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
