Note that this fix breaks backward compability with Puppet agents older than 3.2.2 and there is no safe way to restore it. This affects puppet agents running on Debian wheezy; we recommend to update the the puppet version shipped in wheezy-backports. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 3.7.2-4+deb8u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 4.8.2-5. We recommend that you upgrade your puppet packages.
