Subject: path_name in file_select creating empty directories

Hello,
I have a files promise which is supposed to copy from a tmp directory to the
local apache conf directory. I want extra files to be purged and everything to
be copied with some exceptions defined with a file_select.
My files promise is:
vars:
"excluded_dirs" slist => {
"$(g.local_generic_source)/devVMs_static/apache_conf_dir/mods-enabled.*",
"$(g.local_generic_source)/devVMs_static/apache_conf_dir/mods-available.*",
"$(g.local_generic_source)/devVMs_static/apache_conf_dir/sites-enabled.*",
"$(g.local_generic_source)/devVMs_static/apache_conf_dir/sites-available.*",
};
files:
"/etc/apache2/."
comment => "verify apache config directory is up
to date",
create => "true",
copy_from =>
no_backup_dcp_purge("$(g.local_generic_source)/devVMs_static/apache_conf_dir/"),
depth_search => recurse("inf"),
file_select => ex_list_test(@(excluded_dirs)),
classes =>
if_repaired("restart_apache");
My file_select body is:
body file_select ex_list_test(names)
{
path_name => { @(names)};
file_result => "!path_name";
}
This setup works in as much as files inside the excluded_dirs are not copied,
but the directories themselves (e.g. /etc/apache2/mods-available) are still
created empty.
Is this expected behaviour? Or is there something amiss with my promise?
