Puppet users - Mar 2011 - err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Parameter require failed: No title provided and "" is not a valid resource reference

Both the server and the client in this example are running 2.6.5:

One class seems to be causing the error:


debug: Value of ''preferred_serialization_format'' (pson) is
invalid for
report, using default (b64_zlib_yaml)

I''ve tried removing all the require statements and still get the same

I''m not sure whether there''s a syntax error buried in there
that I
havn''t seen, or if it''s a bug.

The problem is probably the "" default, try undef instead.
