It looks like you have an incompatible mix of Puppet bits on your system. That likely results either from the old version not being completely removed during the upgrade, or from there always having been multiple copies installed (but that not previously having been a problem). Supposing that you are using Puppet RPMs, check for a Puppet gem, and for a local from-source Puppet installation. RPM can help you identify files that don't belong to the Puppet rpm. You'll have to judge for yourself whether the work (probably not too much) is worth it for this system.
