I am currently running puppet 2.7 on my Pi, but that's a bit behind the times.

The currently suggested approach for upgrading Puppet is to use the puppet labs repo ( see Puppet on Raspberry Pi or Installing Puppet 3 in a BeagleBone or Raspberry Pi). However, I see that the main repo has puppet 3.7., e.g. http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/raspbian/raspbian/pool/main/p/puppet/ contains both puppet-common_2.7.23-1~deb7u3_all.deb and puppet-common_3.7.2-4_all.deb .

I ran an apt-get update/dist-upgrade today, but I still don't get the updated puppet. apt-cache does not recognize the new version:

$ apt-cache showpkg puppet
Package: puppet
Versions: 
2.7.23-1~deb7u3 (/var/lib/apt/lists/mirrordirector.raspbian.org_raspbian_dists_wheezy_main_binary-armhf_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status)
 Description Language: 
                 File: /var/lib/apt/lists/mirrordirector.raspbian.org_raspbian_dists_wheezy_main_binary-armhf_Packages
                  MD5: 1dc71ec043c0ade030b8a9e18410f9ef

How can I install the updated puppet packages from the raspbian repo?

I think I know what is going on. I am currently running the wheezy-based version of raspbian. Wheezy contains Puppet 2.7, while Jessie contains Puppet 3.7.

So the only solution would be to upgrade to raspbian jessie.
