[Bug 1072813] [NEW] puppetd hangs/slow downs - already fixed in upstream

[Markus Peter]

Public bug reported:

A bug in puppet, which was already fixed upstream in 2.7.11, can cause
occasional hangs in one-time mode and slow downs in general, caused by a
bug in the file
lib/puppet/util/instrumentation/listeners/process_name.rb

Upstream bugs describing the problem
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12588 and
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12310 lead to a fix in 2.7.11: The
file was simply removed from puppet 2.7.11 as it was only an example for
a new API anyway.

Unfortunately, the Debian/Ubuntu puppet distribution still contains the
file, as patches/debian-changes re-adds the file. I suppose this was
simply a small mistake during the merge of the upstream release.

The file should be removed from the Debian/Ubuntu puppet distribution to
fix the mentioned problems.
