It looks like Puppet is complaining that there is a directory 
/var/lib/puppet/facts, but it needs to be a file (presumably one writable 
by the master).  I cannot guess how you may have gotten into that 
situation.  It is likely that simply removing /var/lib/puppet/facts and all 
its contents will resolve that error (Puppet should create the file 
itself), but that might not prevent the situation from recurring, and of 
course you shouldn''t just delete blindly.
