Foreman_smartproxy fails to evalute with "couldn't find HOME environment"
Description
When runnign Puppet agent manually, everything works fine. However, when running Puppet as a service, the Foreman_smartproxy type fails with:
puppet-agent[1747]: (/Stage[main]/Foreman_proxy::Register/Foreman_smartproxy[smart-proxy.fqdn]) Could not evaluate: couldn't find HOME environment -- expanding `~'
I'm running on Ubuntu 14.04.
Drilling down, it seems the issue is that foreman-cli requires the distro-packaged version of apipie-bindings, which is 0.0.8, the required version should be 0.0.9, as per issue #7063.

Actually the puppet foreman_proxy module requires the ruby-apipie-bindings package as well (https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman_proxy/blob/master/manifests/install.pp).

Looking at http://deb.theforeman.org/pool/trusty/1.7/r/ruby-apipie-bindings/, it seems that the foreman packaged version (for foreman 1.7) is 0.0.8. Removing the module and installing the library from gem (gem install apipie-bindings) seems to clear the error, but the packaged version is installed on the next run, so the errors start again when the puppet agent is restarted.

Could you try it with all packages from the 1.7 repos but apipie-bindings from the 1.8 repo on a clean system?

I manually installed ruby-apipie-bindings from 1.8 (wget http://deb.theforeman.org/pool/trusty/1.8/r/ruby-apipie-bindings/ruby-apipie-bindings_0.0.11-1_all.deb && dpkg -i ruby-apipie-bindings_0.0.11-1_all.deb). The errors cleaned-up and puppet is not trying to downgrade ruby-apipie-bindings to 0.0.8. So I guess that it's a valid workaround, but a real solution would be to release 0.0.8-2 (patched with https://github.com/Apipie/apipie-bindings/pull/14) or 0.0.9 to all the supported versions with 0.0.8.

This issue might need to get moved to a different project.

Hm, seems to have been an oversight that we have apipie-bindings 0.0.8 in the deb repos and 0.0.10 in the RPMs, which it should be. I think the Hammer version are all the same, so updating it in 1.7 shouldn't cause an issue.
