Puppet users - Feb 2013 - Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: No managed repo yet for this distro.

I''m hoping someone else has experienced the error. The puppetmaster and
agent are on the same system and its having trouble pulling the facter
variables. I''ve got storedconfigs on MySQL and the last time this
happened
I deleted the configs and it started working again. This pops up every
couple of months, any suggestions on how to resolve the issue, maybe a
misconfiguration? Master and agent on the same system ok?

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: No
managed repo yet for this distro. at
/etc/puppet/modules/yum/manifests/init.pp:54 on node
warning: Not using cache on failed catalog

After investigating a little futhur I found that the yaml file for this
node (and puppetmaster) has only time stamps:

--- !ruby/object:Puppet::Node
 classes: []
 expiration: 2013-02-05 16:52:21.747019 -05:00
 name: node

   environment: production

Instead of having populating facts/node information like the other nodes:

--- !ruby/object:Puppet::Node
 classes: []
 environment: &id001 production
 expiration: 2013-02-05 16:51:05.079351 -05:00
 name: node1
 parameters:
   swapfree: 3.97 GB

Can anyone explain to me why this happens?

Removing the node from MySQL resolved the issue, wish someone could
elaborate why this happens every few months?
