Hmmz, please ignore what I typed after the IMHO, it seems this example template is longer available in Foreman than I thought. Still it seems to be broken by a recent update.

Sorry about the duplicate I was testing against RC1, my fault. Would be nice if the Debian RC packages would be updated when there is a new RC.

Normally they are, but since its vacation time for many people, expect a few delays....

Clear, if I could help with the Debian building process please let me know ;)

Deb RC3 will be out today, I'm just testing it now. Apologies for the delay. Ordinarily a version bump would be trivial, but I have a new packaging format which will be used from rc3 onward, so it's a little more complex.

There was a blog back in November on how the Debian build process works, and how anyone can participate, you can find it at http://blog.theforeman.org/2012/11/debian-packaging-transparent-way.html

Thanks a lot, also for the additional information. Nice that the Git 'hack' is not needed anymore, great work! It seems RC4 debs are picky about the installation order. I Had some '@cert_chain' errors like 'abstract-1.0.0 has an invalid nil value for @cert_chain', but solved it by first installing the foreman package before packages like foreman-console, etc.. But this is off topic for this bug report ;)

Thanks for the info! I would expect apt to always install foreman before the foreman-* packages anyway, but I'll double check the dependencies when I have a chance. I saw the @cert_chain stuff too, but it seems harmless as far as I've been able to tell. Do open new bugs if you find anything wrong with them :)

That's what I thought but my Puppet died hard with installing RC4 (from scratch) without specifying the order. Will keep an eye on the changes ;)
