Puppet users - Dec 2007 - error during template parsing (??)

Hi,

I am rather new to puppet and set up a puppet server and some clients.

during "puppetd --server=puppetmaster.example.com --verbose" I get the
following error which says nothing to me:

err: Could not retrieve configuration: Uncaught exception compile error
(erb):241: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting $end
                            HashMap map
(HashMap)session.getAttribute("map");
                                                          ^ in method
puppetmaster.getconfig
warning: Could not get config; using cached copy

has anyone had this error?

I use puppet in version 0.20.1-1 on debian sarge.

Yours,
	Phillip

That''s indicative of a syntax error inyour template somewhere.  There  
aren''t any great ways to hunt the failure itself down, exactly, but  
it shouldn''t be too hard (and this should encourage you to keep your  
templates simple).
