Update the pe-r10k package in Puppet Enterprise 2019.8.7 and 2021.2 if you are using Continuous Delivery for PE impact analysis

A change we made in Puppet Enterprise 2019.8.7 and 2021.2 causes issues for customers using Continuous Delivery for PE impact analysis. Impact analysis fails with a R10K::Module::Forge cannot handle option ‘default_branch_override’ error.

If you're using these versions of PE, you must update the pe-r10k package to continue to use impact analysis. After you update the package, you can update to future versions of PE using the installer as normal.

Error message
