Hello,

I'm getting the following error message:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, 'versioncmp' parameter 'a' expects a String value, got Undef (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/puppet7/modules/acme/manifests/request/handler.pp, line: 185, column: 18

I've already reviewed https://github.com/fraenki/puppet-acme/issues/27, but not seeing a clear solution.

Thank you.

Please hold off working on this bug just yet. It could be something on our side, and I'm checking. Thank you.

The following fix worked in Puppetfile:

mod 'puppet-openssl',
  :git    =>  'https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-openssl',
  :commit =>  '355004d'

https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-openssl/pull/135

Thanks for putting this together. Unfortunately, there's still no new release of voxpupuli/puppet-openssl which includes this fix, hence I can't update the dependency accordingly.

However, I'll close this issue, because there's nothing we can do about it. I'll monitor voxpupuli/puppet-openssl releases for the time being.
