Puppet users - Feb 2012 - uncaught exception of type NoMethodError: undefined method `<=>'

Hi,

i''ve upgraded many of my client machines to version 2.7.10 lately and
since on some clients (server is running 2.7.10) i get the following
error (running puppetd -tvd --noop --trace):

Hi,

you''ve probably seen this, but there are issues in 2.7.10 such as

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/show/12310
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/show/12269
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/show/12269
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/show/12588

I haven''t checked whether either of them could be a culprit here.

Your safest bet is possibly to downgrade from 2.7.10.

Otherwise, you will have to "bisect" the manifest of an afflicted
node,
i.e. empty its node {} definition and re-include its classes in chunks
of 50% iteratively. This may be more or less simple depending on your
manifests.

HTH,
Felix
