If you install puppet from the ubuntu 9.04 repositories (apt-get
install puppet) it sets up puppet differently than the gem. The
differences are obvious from the /etc/puppet/puppet.conf which looks
like this
[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/v

I am just learning puppet and as can be expected I am making lots and
lots of mistakes.
One thing I find very frustrating is that the puppet client seems to
fail very silently even when I run it manually.
When I am debugging I use the command line.
puppetd --server myserver.com --test --logdes
