Rudder

After accepting a new node which is behind a relay, wainting that the generation finished, I did and observed:

## on root - ubuntu 16.04

rudder agent update && rudder agent run 
# everything fine

##
## on relay - ubuntu 14.04
##

root@relay:/home/vagrant# rudder agent update && rudder agent run

I tried again immediately, and got the same result for both relay and node. After a couple of minutes, the errors on both relay and node vanished.

The compliance was ok even with the errors.
