    Description

      On Ubuntu 15.04 the puppet agent starts with multi-user.target.
      Due to this if using NetworkManager with DHCP, the agent tries to apply configuration before network connection is up resulting in printing several errors to the logs.

      Changing the puppet.service file and moving the symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/puppet.service to /etc/systemd/system/network-online.target.wants/puppet.service is fixing the problem.

      Content of edited puppet.service file:

      [Unit]
      		 
      Description=Puppet agent
      		 
      Wants=network-online.target
      		 
      After=network-online.target
