[Bug 700945] Re: backport of patch for error message undefined method `closed?' for Nil:NilClass required.

[Oliver Brakmann]

Hi Bryce,

I was thinking along those lines, until I saw that the original package
patches the source also.  Since I did not want to bloat the patch
unnecessarily, I went with patching the source as well instead of
converting the source package to a quilt-based one.

Thanks, Oliver

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: puppet

  
  Hi,

  There are many versions of puppet, fortunately lucid (10.04) has a
  relatively new version (merely called legacy from puppetlabs).

  Unfortunately it has a number of bugs / issues, one of which I have
  recently encountered is an underlying bug in Ruby (and OpenSSL) on
  Lucid.

  However, the bug can be easily worked around, as noted two months
  after lucid's release.

  users at googlegroups.com/2010-06/msg00206.html

  Basically, upgrading to the latest available version of puppet in the
  'legacy' series will resolve the issue.
