[Bug 1242363] Re: Puppet package needs ruby-hiera (unmapped dep)

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

I can run "puppet apply" with an empty manifest and also a trivial
manifest with a single static file defined, using puppet-common
3.2.4-2ubuntu2 on Saucy and without ruby-hiera installed. What exactly
is the failure case here, please? What do you have in
/etc/puppet/manifests/abstracts.pp:10? If you have something that
specifically needs hiera, but puppet doesn't need hiera in all cases,
then shouldn't this be at best a recommendation rather than a hard
dependency?

We should certainly pick up the ruby-hiera dependency in puppet-common
on the next merge from Debian for Trusty, as I see no reason to diverge
from Debian on this.

But do we need Saucy fixed? If so, what is the justification, please?

Triaged for Trusty, since we should merge Debian's ruby-hiera
dependency.
