[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#512639: puppetmaster should recommend libldap-ruby1.8

[Thijs Kinkhorst]

Package: puppetmaster
Version: 0.24.5-3
Severity: minor

Hi,

When using puppetrun, the user is presented with an error message every time
if he doesn't have libldap-ruby1.8 installed, even if you don't use LDAP:

| # puppetrun --host example1.example.com
| Failed to load ruby LDAP library. LDAP functionality will not be available
| Finished

This is simply solved by installing that package. In order to avoid the
error, puppetmaster could Recommend libldap-ruby1.8. From what I read in
the docs it's a deliberate choice to display this warning when LDAP
support is not available.


thanks,
Thijs
