It turned out that there was an update to the foreman package which
completely broke Puppets ability to enroll new nodes.

Call me old fashioned, I''ve been a Debian sysadmin for over 10 years,
but
on a ''stable'' system an apt-get upgrade is not supposed to
break things.
Thats one of the things Debian is famous for. Just so happens my server is
running Ubuntu server ''long term support'' version and I
expected something
similar there.

I''ve spent some time now ripping Foreman out. Its too unreliable and I
don''t think the benefits outweigh the costs. Puppet *without* foreman
is
just fine.

Bye bye, foreman, I''ll hardly miss you.
