Puppet Error Unable to locate package PuppetDB

Question

I have just begun with puppet. I have installed the puppet server(master)6.7 on ubuntu 16.10, a linux puppet agent, and a windows agent.

After this i followed the official docs to install PuppetDB. I have connected it with my server.When I run puppet agent --test it successfully completes.and when I run sudo /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/puppet resource package puppetdb ensure=latest here is an error:

error: Unable to locate package PuppetDB

How do i set it right?

Answer 1

• You will have to enable the puppet collection package.

• Enabling the Puppet Collection package repository for Xenial solves the problem with, particularly puppetserver and puppetdb packages on Ubuntu16.10.

• For later versions of puppet (6.7 etc) you will have to enable puppet platform repository.
