I have an issue with the last version of puppet module alternatives. I can't fix this issue after the last changes in puppet module alternatives. the error is as below : 

Error: Could not autoload puppet/provider/alternatives/chkconfig: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/alternatives/lib/puppet/provider/alternatives/chkconfig.rb:36: syntax error, unexpected keyword_rescue, expecting keyword_end

Can someone know how to solve this issue ? i tried to solve it with the last version of alternatives 4.1.0 and the previous one 4.0.0 but the error still exist. puppet agent version 5.5.22.

It appears to be this code: https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-alternatives/blob/83e2472ccbbb1e766287972240d20e256e713dac/lib/puppet/provider/alternatives/chkconfig.rb#L29-L40

It is using a syntax that is only valid with Ruby 2.5 while 5.5 ships Ruby 2.4. It was modified in https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-alternatives/commit/cf4881ab2859bd01b3bc900a747259c7deea58e0 so 4.0.0 should work. Perhaps it's not properly deployed or not picking up the change?

Either way, the module version 4.x does not support Puppet agent 5. Since Puppet 5 is EOL, I'd recommend upgrading to at least Puppet 6 but preferably to Puppet 7.
