Puppet users - Jun 2013 - Unknown function validate_bool when trying puppet labs apache class

New to puppet.

I am trying to use the Apache class from puppet labs found 
here: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apache

When it runs agent --test on my test environment I get:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Unknown function validate_bool at 
/etc/puppet/modules/apache/manifests/init.pp:43 on node slave

Running on Ubuntu 12.04 with puppet 2.7.11-1ubuntu2.2 installed from the 
default Ubuntu repository .

Looking in the files from the class I see calls to the function 
validate_bool, but don''t see it defined.

If there some base/pre-requisite class that I needed? Don''t see any
mention
in the readme file. Also, these classes from puppetlabs github, is there a 
way to tell what version they would work with?

If you take a look in Modulefile in the root of the module you can see the
other dependencies.  You''re going to need ''stdlib''
and probably ''concat'' as
well.  You can install them with either ''puppet module install
puppetlabs-stdlib'' type commands or just grab them from git also.

Thanks. That will help in future installs.

That one fixed it.

That one I could not install (not found by concat or puppetlabs-concat, but 
it seems was not needed so not an issue.

Is there a way to list all the available modules? Or basically anything in 
the git repository should be able to be installed that way?

Thanks much for the help.
Although there is quite a lot of content and concepts to go over, so far 
looking very manageable. My only other previous experience with a 
configuration management system was trying to learn Cfengine. Found that 
much harder to learn and eventually gave up on it.

Well, your best bet is actually to flip over from using git to the forge.
http://forge.puppetlabs.com/ is the url and this is where ''puppet
module
install x'' goes to look.  Here the modules are versioned so
you''re
(generally) getting known good versions of modules that are tested together.

If you had a blank setup and used puppet module install puppetlabs-apache
it would automatically check for dependencies and fetch all of those as
well.  You can find a ton of other modules on here too.  Sometimes I
install them from the forge and sometimes I google those modules and find
them on git and go right to the source, depending on when they were last
released.  (Sometimes people add them to forge and forget to ever update
them).
