Puppet users - Aug 2012 - Why this "Could not evaluate" error?

Dear readers,

When I do this

node testip {
  package {''isc-dhcp-server'':
        ensure => purged,
  }
  service {''isc-dhcp-server'':
        ensure => stopped,
        enable => false,
        pattern => ''dhcpd''
  }
}

I get this error

Error: /Stage[main]//Node[mttj-linuxterm1-puppet]/Service[isc-dhcp-server]: 
Could not evaluate: Execution of ''/sbin/initctl  --version''
returned 1:
initctl: invalid command:  --version
Try `initctl --help'' for more information.

The puppetmaster is CentOS6 with puppet 3rc3 and the node is UbuntuServer 
12.04 with puppet 3rc3.

I have to use rc3, as rc4 doesn''t work.

What am I doing wrong?

Hugs,
Sandra

Please replace "testip" with "mttj-linuxterm1-puppet" =)

Hi,

Thanks for the hugs :)

There seem to be a problem with underlying provider / binaries on which 
said provider relies. Nothing wrong with your content, as far as I can tell 
from the little snippet provided.

If I recall correctly, 3.0.0RC3 was withdrawn.  Frankly, I was a bit 
surprised that RC4 came out as soon as it did.  Were I you, I would stick 
with Puppet 2.x for the time being, as it seems to be much more stable.
