      Previously, using the --local option in filebucket would default to using the server's filebucket instead of the actual local filebucket, which would cause errors when querying for files on the local filebucket because they could not be found. (As filebucket was looking in the wrong directory) The behavior has been changed for --local option to now use the clientbucketdir instead of bucketdir.

    Description

      As I've noticed we are finally fixing filebucket I'd love to see the following long-standing bug fixed.

      # cat /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/clientbucket/2/c/1/5/a/e/7/2/2c15ae72acdbd8878a6550275bc15fef/paths 
      /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf
      		 
       
      		 
      # puppet filebucket get --local 2c15ae72acdbd8878a6550275bc15fef
      		 
      Error: Could not run: File not found

      The thing is, you can find the file just fine if you manually specify the clientbucket.

      [root@client puppet]# puppet filebucket get -b /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/clientbucket 2c15ae72acdbd8878a6550275bc15fef
      		 
      Info: FileBucket read 2c15ae72acdbd8878a6550275bc15fef
      		 
      # This file can be used to override the default puppet settings.
      		 
      # See the following links for more details on what settings are available:

      Looking at the code with strace, it is trying to read the $bucketdir instead of the $clientbucketdir, which makes no sense when using the --local option.

      If there is some use for --local that somehow makes sense, change this to a feature request for --client or some such option?
