Could not synchronize [...]: "git [...] fetch --prune cache" returned with non-zero exit value 128

[larstobi]

Running "r10k cache" fails when running the first time and subsequently when running "r10k synchronize" with the same error message: exit code 128.

I have set up the r10k-shared git repo with root's ssh pubkey as a deploy key in github. The r10k-shared repository and the rsyslog repository are checked out in their respective places.

Apparently the cache remote ref is not being set for checked out modules:

root@master:/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/master/modules/rsyslog# git remote -v
origin  git://github.com/puppetlabs-operations/puppet-rsyslog.git (fetch)
origin  git://github.com/puppetlabs-operations/puppet-rsyslog.git (push)

OS: Ubuntu Presice 64

Update: after "rm -rf /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments" and re-running "r10k cache", then problem has gone away, and the rsyslog repo has the "cache" remote ref set.
