Hi,

My puppet agent try to drowngrade to a non-existing release

255:Debug: Runtime environment: puppet_version=6.27.0, ruby_version=2.5.9, run_mode=agent, default_encoding=UTF-8

2582:Debug: Facter: fact "puppetversion" has resolved to "6.27.0".

4282:Debug: /Stage[main]/Puppet_agent::Install/Package[puppet-agent]/notify: notify to Puppet_agent_end_run[6.27.0]

4636:Debug: Package[puppet-agent](provider=yum): Ensuring => 6.27.0

4639:Debug: Package[puppet-agent](provider=yum): Downgrading package puppet-agent from version 6.27.1-1.el7 to 6.27.0

4640:Debug: Executing: '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y downgrade puppet-agent-6.27.0'

4641:Notice: /Stage[main]/Puppet_agent::Install/Puppet_agent_end_run[6.27.0]: Dependency Package[puppet-agent] has failures: true

4642:Debug: /Stage[main]/Puppet_agent::Install/Puppet_agent_end_run[6.27.0]: Resource is being skipped, unscheduling all events

The possible cause

$ rpm -qa puppet-agent

puppet-agent-6.27.1-1.el7.x86_64

$ puppet --version

6.27.0

After a downgrade of puppet-agent to 6.26.0 on the the puppet server the problem is fixed

Notice: /Stage[main]/Puppet_agent::Install/Package[puppet-agent]/ensure: ensure changed '6.27.1-1.el7' to '6.26.0' (corrective)

The puppet code that manage the agent update is basic

    class {'::puppet_agent':

      collection      => 'puppet6',

      package_version => 'auto',

      service_names   => ['puppet'],
