puppet upgrade problem 0.25 “could not convert from pson”

After upgrading to 0.25, the following error occurs:
Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Could not intern from pson: Could not convert from pson: Could not find relationship target ”
This turned out to be because of recipes using exec without naming the exec. Example

exec { "cat /that/file":
          unless => "something",
          path => "/bin",
          refreshonly => false
        }
should be rewritten as

exec { "cat that file":
          command => "cat /that/file",
          unless => "something",
          path => "/bin",
          refreshonly => false
        }
The error goes away after making the change and all is well.

    I considered this more of sloppiness on my part than a bug…I really should be naming everything. I’ll update the ticket with my tests to determine this as the cause, I basically wiped my manifest and started adding back in things until it broke.
