Complete! {code} Not saying we should fix this, as: 1. This is a bug in puppet probably 2. We're using unsupported puppet version on fedora which we built by our own. 3. We might prefer to drop puppet for these sort of tasks But, we should be aware that our puppet infrastructure isn't behaving as expected.
