Ohai,

Katello deployments default to Puppet disabled these days, but for some reason a freshly deployed system still has the puppet.service enabled and started, resulting in errors in the logs:

I think the issue is the $puppet = true in https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman_proxy_content/blob/413896789684ca48012a78e63ca014fd73e5d26c/manifests/init.pp#L98
as that leads to the inclusion of the puppet class down the road: https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman_proxy_content/blob/413896789684ca48012a78e63ca014fd73e5d26c/manifests/init.pp#L369-L380
