err:
/Settings[top]/Settings[main]/File[/usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/var/yaml]:
Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not find user puppet
debug: Finishing transaction 75413780 with 2 changes

since i put the last version on this test server i cannot launch puppet
manualy:

mkdir -m 700 -p /usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/conf/ssl; \
mkdir -m 700 -p /usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/var/facts; \
mkdir -m 700 -p /usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/log; \
mkdir -m 700 -p /usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/run; \
mkdir -m 700 -p /usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/state; \
puppetd --confdir=/usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/conf \
--logdir=/usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/log \
--rundir=/usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/run \
--statedir=/usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/state \

--factpath=/usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/var/facts \
--factdest=/usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/var/facts \
--server=xxxxxxxxxxx --waitforcert 30 --test --debug


it has worked from  <0.24.1 but now i cannot launch the utils. I tried
to use root (--user=root) but guess what, on freeBSD there is no root
group so the error change to :

err:
/Settings[top]/Settings[main]/File[/usr/local/.aqadmin/puppet/var/yaml]:
Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Could not find group root


but what is the issue here, the client allways runned as root , do i
missed something ?

  I created a dummy root group and now i got :

err: Could not retrieve catalog: File[/var/puppet/facts] is already
being managed
