[Puppet Users] Puppet 3.0 Puppet labs repo package problem on rhel5

The problem was that our el5 rubygem-json package was the el6 src
rebuilt, without the patch, against ruby 1.8.5. Rebuilding the
rubygem-json package against the ruby 1.8.7 packages in our
dependencies repo resolved the parser.so linking errors. I've included
the ldd of the parser.so before and after below as well. The updated
package is now available in our dependencies repo. Please let us know
if this doesn't address your problem.

Apologies for the problems this caused you and thanks much for
bringing the issue to our attention.


Here is the ldd of parser.so with the broken rubygem-json package

ldd -r /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/json/ext/parser.so
