Hello Everyone, I hope you can help.
Our puppet agent was updated to version 6.5.0 on our servers last night. Things are working fine, except for two servers are throwing the error below (SNIP #1). A little digging found I could reproduce the error by running 'facter -p' or 'puppet facts' (SNIP #2). Trying to identify exactly what is going on, I got as far as running the offending ruby script (package_provider.rb) and it also returns the error, but, at least with a stack trace (SNIP #3). Does anyone have any idea what we've encountered? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -Pat SNIP #1 # puppet agent -t Info: Using configured environment 'production' Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Retrieving locales Info: Loading facts Error: Could not autoload puppet/provider/package/gem: superclass must be a Class (Module given) Error: Facter: error while resolving custom facts in /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/ cache/lib/facter/package_provider.rb: Could not autoload puppet/provider/ package/gem: superclass must be a Class (Module given) Info: Caching catalog for eu-assist.aws-eu.int.luminoso.com Info: Applying configuration version '1561063233' Notice: Applied catalog in 15.24 seconds SNIP #2 # puppet facts > /dev/null Error: Could not autoload puppet/provider/package/gem: superclass must be a Class (Module given) Error: Facter: error while resolving custom facts in /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/ cache/lib/facter/package_provider.rb: Could not autoload puppet/provider/ package/gem: superclass must be a Class (Module given) # facter -p > /dev/null 2019-06-20 20:42:36.539351 ERROR puppetlabs.facter - error while resolving custom facts in /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/facter/package_provider.rb: Could not autoload puppet/provider/package/gem: superclass must be a Class ( Module given) SNIP #3 # /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/ruby /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/facter/package_provider.rb Traceback (most recent call last): 15: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/facter/package_provider.rb:11:in `<main>' 14: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:59:in `require' 13: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:59:in `require' 12: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/type/package.rb :9:in `<top (required)>' 11: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/type/package.rb:10:in `< module:Puppet>' 10: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/metatype/manager.rb:127:in `newtype' 9: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/autoload.rb :215:in `loadall' 8: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/autoload.rb:79:in ` loadall' 7: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/autoload.rb:79:in `each' 6: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/autoload.rb :81:in `block in loadall' 5: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/autoload.rb:66:in ` load_file' 4: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/util/autoload.rb:66:in `load' 3: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/package /gem.rb:1:in `<top (required)>' 2: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:59:in `require' 1: from /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/2.5.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:59:in `require' /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/ package_targetable.rb:23:in `<top (required)>': Could not autoload puppet/provider/package/gem: superclass must be a Class (Module given) (Puppet::Error) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
