Comment 2 for bug 1509242

I looked in the logs and I see that the problem is due to a version of tzdata that has been updated recently. In our plugin we embed a version of tzdata that is too old and when puppet tries to install elasticsearch that depends on java it tries a downgrade that fails. Here are the corresponding log:

2015-10-22 18:14:27 +0000 Puppet (err): Execution of '/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold install openjdk-7-jre-headless' returned 100: Reading package lists...
