Puppet users - Jul 2008 - Getting undefined method `-' for #<XMLRPC::DateTime:0xb7c729e8>

Hello, all.

I am getting the following error on a couple of my puppet nodes when I
run puppetd -v -o --no-daemonize --no-splay:

err: Could not retrieve catalog: undefined method `-'' for
#<XMLRPC::DateTime:0xb7c729e8>

The error goes away if I add --ignorecache, but I''m not sure
that''s
quite the fix I''m hoping for. It will also go away if i remove my
localconfig file, but the error returns after the localconfig file is
regenerated.

This is only affecting 2 nodes so far, and both nodes were working
properly earlier today.

Has anybody run into this, or does anybody have any idea of what''s
going on?

puppetd is version 0.24.4

I believe puppetmasterd was pulled down from 0.24.x, but it reports as
0.24.4

Thanks!

Did you figure this out? I''m getting it, as well.

Can you run with with --trace and --debug and log a ticket please.

Thanks

Haven''t seen it since last night when I cleared my exported resources 
and state/yaml files on both client and server (for the client), but if 
I do see it again I will definitely do this.

No I have not figured it out and the problem seems to be growing. I
have tried removing the classes and localconfig files on the client,
and I removed the fact and node yaml stuff on the server. That works
for the first run but the second run always fails. It is now happening
on at least 5 of my clients (that I know about). Here''s is the debug/
trace output.

** First I remove the clases and localconfig files on the client:

[root@jpruitt-lnx puppet]# rm localconfig.yaml
rm: remove regular file `localconfig.yaml''? y
[root@jpruitt-lnx puppet]# rm classes.txt
rm: remove regular file `classes.txt''? y

** Next I remove the fact and node caches on the server:

[root@puppetmaster1 yaml]# rm */*jpruitt*
rm: remove regular file `facts/jpruitt-lnx.juniper.net.yaml''? y
rm: remove regular file `node/jpruitt-lnx.juniper.net.yaml''? y

** Now I can run puppet with no problems:

[root@jpruitt-lnx puppet]# puppetd -v -o --no-daemonize --no-splay
info: Retrieving plugins
info: Caching catalog at /var/lib/puppet/localconfig.yaml
notice: Starting catalog run
info: Sent transaction report in 0.05 seconds
notice: Finished catalog run in 9.75 seconds

** But every subsequent run yields the following result:

[root@jpruitt-lnx puppet]# puppetd -v -o --no-daemonize --no-splay --

Just tried 0.24.5rc1 and the problem seems to have disappeared, so if
you don''t mind using an RC, that should do the trick.

Please file a bug if the rc doesn''t fix this behaviour.
