>Description:
puppet agent display the following error message when connecting to puppet master:
Info: Retrieving plugin
Error: /File[/var/puppet/lib]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from environment production source(s) puppet://puppet-testing-port-01.example.com/plugins
Info: Caching catalog for puppet-testing-port-02.example.com
Info: Applying configuration version '1365200455'

This is because the puppet master (puppet-testing-port01.example.com) has a missing directory /usr/local/etc/puppet/modules, which doesn't create by default. The attached diff of sysutils/puppet Makefile will create the directory /usr/local/etc/puppet/modules which do away the error message.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a fresh installation of sysutils/puppet (without /usr/local/etc/puppet/modules) on puppet master (puppet-testing-port01.example.com), then try to connect puppet agent (puppet-testing-port02.example.com) with it.
