Puppet users - Oct 2012 - problem while moving a package from not-root directory to root directory

Hi,

I am having an issue when i try to move a package from non-root directory 
to root-directory...

What i Did is:
1. create a directory with non-root user as the owner
2. copied a package from server using ''file'' parameter as
shown below:
            
       file { "/usr/local/packages/java.tar.gz":
                source  => "puppet:///haproxy/files/java.tar.gz",
                alias   => "java-package",
                require => File["package-directory"],
        }

3. Then, when i tried to move this tar file to some directory owned by root 
user, it gives me error

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
File[/usr/local/packages/java.tar.gz]/ensure: change from absent to file 
failed: failed to chgrp /usr/local/packages/java.tar.gz to 0: Operation not 
permitted - /usr/local/packages/java.tar.gz

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

My puppet version is ''0.25.5''

my puppet-server is running via root-user , while my puppet client is 
running via a non-root user.

Please provide some solution for this issue.

Thanks
Saurabh

This could be the issue. The user running the puppet does not have
enough privileges to complete that action.

That is exactly backwards.  The master does not need to run as a privileged 
user, therefore it should not do so.  The client, on the other hand, 
normally *does* need to run as a privileged user (e.g. root) because that 
is necessary for managing most resources of interest.
