puppet-agent "allow_virtual" warnings in logs on RHEL6 satellite 6 client

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Every puppet run, a messages similar to these gets logged in syslog:
Dec 21 06:06:07 sat6-client puppet-agent[25585]: The package type's allow_virtual parameter will be changing its default value from false to true in a future release. If you do not want to allow virtual packages, please explicitly set allow_virtual to false.
Dec 21 06:06:07 sat6-client puppet-agent[25585]:    (at /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/type.rb:816:in `set_default')
Dec 21 06:06:07 sat6-client puppet-agent[25585]: Finished catalog run in 0.26 seconds
  • Is there a workaround for this, and/or will this be addressed in a future errata?
