Puppet

If you’re using Puppet version 2.7.12 and install a module that has in the metadata.json "puppetversion": 2.7.11, then puppet module commands blow up. This means you can’t use uninstall to get rid of it, list to show you the problem, or install any new modules. You can modify the metadata.json to either have the exact puppet version you’re using, or remove the puppetversion entry from the json file.

We should probably call out that the puppet version isn’t a match when we call puppet module list, but not raise an error and prevent anything else from happening.
