Puppet users - Jul 2010 - File /etc/yum.conf does not contain a main section

I just upgraded puppet from 0.25.5 to 0.26, and I''m getting this:

(/Stage[main]/Repo::Livegamer_software_base/Yumrepo[Livegamer-Software-Base])
Could not evaluate: File /etc/yum.conf does not contain a main section

However, my /etc/yum.conf contains this. What''s wrong with that? Is
puppet smoking crack?

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1

# Note: yum-RHN-plugin doesn''t honor this.
metadata_expire=1h

installonly_limit = 5

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

Doug.

Well I''d say that''d be a bug.

Can you please log a ticket with the results of the master and agent
runs with --trace --debug --verbose enabled?

Thanks

James,

Probably a minor bug. I retyped the [main] line, and puppet was happy.
There was probably a trailing tab or white space at the end of the
line. Easy to reproduce I guess.... still a bug?

Doug,

Thanks for taking the time and effort to test and report these issues.
 I''d say if yum parses the file OK, so should puppet, so yes I think
it''s still a bug.  You shouldn''t have to re-type the line to
make it
work.

Cheers,
