    Description

      Original ticket description:

      Basic Info
      Module Version: 4.1.1
      Puppet Version: upgrading from 6.16 to 6.17
      OS Name/Version: Reproduced on AIX 7.2 but customer has said it affects all AIX

      Desired Behavior:

      From the pull request the expected behaviour:

      The newly added resource attempts to figure out if a Puppet upgrade
      was performed, then stops the run altogether. If Puppet is being run
      as a service, the HUP signal will have the daemon trigger a subsequent
      Puppet run that will evaluate the remaining resources.

      Actual Behavior:

      When upgrading and leaving puppet to run as a service the 2nd run does not happen and the puppet service and pxp-agent are left offline making a manual puppet run required. 

      The customer who reported the issue has 250 nodes on AIX.

      Updated ticket description:

      This is a regression in puppet-agent caused by PUP-3721, originally fixed in PA-390.
