    Description

      After upgrading puppet to puppet 7 on LinuxMint 19.1 Tessa, all services deployed by Puppet were broken because they have been considered as upstart instead of systemd.

      Downgrading to puppet 6 corrected the issue. I did not completely understand the logic, but it seems to be caused by these different facter outputs:

      {{
      root@bravo:~# facter --version
      4.0.47
      root@bravo:~# facter os
      {

      distro => {
      codename => "tessa",
      description => "Linux Mint 19.1",
      id => "Linuxmint",
      release =>

      { full => "19.1", major => "19.1" }


      },

      ,

      { enabled => false }
      }
