Puppet users - Apr 2010 - Could not set file on ensure: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

Hi,

I''m just starting to use puppet and I''ve encountered the error
below.
I''ve looked in the puppet FAQ and googled around a bit but
can''t work
out what''s going wrong here:

notice: Starting Puppet client version 0.22.4
info: Facts have changed; recompiling
info: Caching configuration at /var/lib/puppet/localconfig.yaml
notice: Starting configuration run
err: /Class[main]/Node[basenode]/Class[yum-conf]/Yum-repo-file[sl-
repo]/File[/etc/yum.repos.d/sl-repo.repo]/ensure: change from absent
to file failed: Could not set file on ensure: undefined method `[]''
for nil:NilClass at /etc/puppet/manifests/definitions/yum-repo-file.pp:
8
notice: Finished configuration run in 0.85 seconds

/etc/puppet/manifests/definitions/yum-repo-file.pp is:
define yum-repo-file ($name) {
        file { "/etc/yum.repos.d/$name.repo":
        source => "puppet://puppetserver/linux/yum/repos.d/
$name.repo",
        mode => 644,
        ensure => file,
        group => root,
        owner => root
        }
}

Hi
> notice: Starting Puppet client version 0.22.4
can you try with a more recent version? the current supported versions  
are imho 0.24.x and 0.25.y (where x or y is the latest version of that  
branch).

cheers pete
