[Martin Duspiva]

Package: puppetmaster
Version: 3.7.2-4+deb8u1
Severity: serious
Justification: must

Dear Maintainer,

fter install the last security update 3.7.2-4+deb8u1, the puppet master doesn't work with puppet agents ( clients ) on Debian Squeezy and Wheezy.  The error on agent is:

root at snek11:/home/martin# puppet agent --server=puppet.aira.cz --no-daemonize --verbose --onetime
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Unsupported facts format
info: Not using expired catalog for snek11.aira.cz from cache; expired at Fri May 26 07:07:12 +0200 2017
notice: Using cached catalog


The part of debug log from master:

The agents on Debian Jessie work good.  


Have a nice day,

MD.
