Hello,
I’m new in foreman installer, so I’ve got problem with cron evaluation during installation process
Problem:
[ERROR ] [configure] Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Virtual Query, Resource type cron doesn’t exist

Foreman and Proxy versions:
foreman-installer 9999-3.12.0-bullseye+scratchbuild+20240719031402+debian11 all
yes, I know, version is for Debian11, but I didn’t find for debian12

Distribution and version:
Debian12
Other relevant data:

Preformatted text[ERROR ] [configure] Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Virtual Query, Resource type cron doesn’t exist (file: /usr/share/foreman-installer/modules/foreman_proxy/manifests/register.pp, line: 38, column: 60) on node foreman

line 38
Foreman_smartproxy[$foreman_proxy::registered_name] → Cron <| title == ‘puppet’ |>

the same error when running

foreman-installer -l DEBUG --puppet-server=false --foreman-proxy-puppet=false --foreman-proxy-puppetca=false --no-enable-puppet --enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-ansible

hello. i had same problem too. i gussed that i have wrong version of puppet. And added puppet repo:

deb http://apt.puppet.com bookworm puppet
deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ bookworm nightly
deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ plugins nightly

next “wget https://deb.theforeman.org/foreman.asc -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/foreman.asc && apt update && apt upgrade”

and it solved problem. i hope it will help to you too.

PS: a little later i found info about it in documentation xD

The puppet-agent package in Debian 12 is missing the vendored modules that the official packages do have. They are packaged, but it requires a bit of additional work.
