Debian 12 support

[virus2500]

Hi,

since it seems like there won't be an puppet agent for Debian 12 directly from puppet, or at least any time soon, i installed the puppet agent from Debian 12 repos.
Now the problem is that the Debian 12 Agent has an different directory layout [1]

There is no /opt/puppetlabs folder at all.

Now when i run the puppet agent and an module ( in this case puppet-postfix) useas augeas::lenses i get the following errors:

Warning: Augeas[Postfix canonical - @deg-debian12.lab.magenta.at](provider=augeas): Loading failed for one or more files, see debug for /augeas//error output

Manually creating the directory /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/share/augeas does work but of course this is only an "dirty" workaround.

It seems for the debian 12 agent /usr/share/puppet would be the right folder

root@deg-debian12:/opt$ ls /usr/share/puppet/
locale  modules  vendor_modules

Now i think the only option to fix this would be via hiera or is there maybe another way?
I tried to find a variable or whatever that could be used instead of the static directory path but couldn't find any.

Even an puppet config print only shows module paths but not the basepath...

root@deg-debian12:~$ puppet config print | grep share
basemodulepath = /etc/puppet/code/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules
modulepath = /usr/share/puppet/modules
vendormoduledir = /usr/share/puppet/vendor_modules

Thanks and br
Mike
