Hi,

I read http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PluginsInModules with which
what this was all about.
Anyway, I changed puppet.conf to :

[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
#pluginsync=true #############  next line is the one added
pluginsync=false
server=panoramix.perenip.lan

[puppetmasterd]
templatedir=/var/lib/puppet/templates
#templatedir=/etc/puppet/templates


... and then, I got rid of error messages
err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources
during transaction: Cannot access mount[plugins]

To let others avoid this error message, would you say either :
1. pluginsync parameter should have been set to false in the first place ?
2. pluginsync parameter should remain set to true but something else should
be changed in installation process ?

Anyway, I would rate this question as SOLVED and open a new thread for this
latter question.

Regards
