Peter, To allow us to be more helpful, it would be great if you could include which version of puppet you are installing and from where. From the problem you describe, I imagine you are installing from debian or ubuntu.
They include 2 files in their package /etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-pre and /etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-post that are referenced in the puppet.conf that ships with the package. It looks like etckeeper is designed to allow someone to version control the etc directory ( https://joeyh.name/code/etckeeper/). The error you're seeing indicates that the file doesn't exist, so there are 2 options to resolve it. 1. Edit /etc/puppet/puppet.conf to remove or disable the prerun_command and postrun_command settings. 2. Reinstall the package to try to get the etckeeper-commit-post file back (this assumes you are using the debian/ubuntu puppet packages) Another option would be to use the Puppet Labs' apt repositories instead of debian/ubuntu. We don't ship with those settings on by default in our packages.
