Applying Puppet plans fails on Debian 12 Bookworm targets about bolt HOT 7 CLOSED

The file custom_facts.rb uses #! /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/ruby as shebang which does not exist on the target.
Changing the shebang to #! /usr/bin/ruby on the Bolt machine makes the script work.

The problem seems to be in fact that Puppet is not currently officially ported to Debian 12 Bookworm as there is no puppet-release-bookworm.deb on apt.puppet.com.
So installing Puppet from Bolt requires to configure the plugin-hooks to use the task plugin with the package task. It installs Ruby as /usr/bin/ruby so the expected ruby path in the custom_facts.rb does not exist.

Did you try upgrading the puppet_agent package to >= 4.17.0 ? puppetlabs/puppetlabs-puppet_agent@43fbd93 Bolt ships with an older one, but if you install a newer one into your project that should be used.

I'm not sure what I have to do but I added puppetlabs-puppet_agent to my PuppetFile and ran bolt module install --no-resolve.
The problem remains so I maybe done it the wrong way.

Still not fixed in bolt 3.28. Plan still fails as there's a hardcoded download url. Missing case for bookworm results in /modules/puppet_agent/tasks/install_shell.sh attempting to download https://apt.puppet.com/puppet-release-.deb

Adding the missing case to the script (here), then the missing package file at https://apt.puppet.com/puppet-release-bookworm.deb can be worked around by adding the following to inventory.yaml

plugin_hooks:
    puppet_library:
        plugin: task
        task: puppet_agent::install
        parameters:
            collection: puppet7  # or puppet8

Working with bolt 3.29.0.

Yeah, the updated puppet_agent package was included in latest bolt release.
