I've been through the verbose output at some length - the package
manager seems to be doing exactly what it's supposed to - all the
packages I've scheduled for installation get installed.
Specifically, I'm using this to install nagios check agents, and what I
see is that each section (both the global, and the dell specific) sees
that packages have been requested that aren't installed, and selects
them for presentation to the package manager. On a Dell server, what I
get is:-

cf3> Q:aptitude --assume-ye ...: nagios-plugins-standard{a}
It's clearly installing all the packages I'd expect. However, at the end
of the installation phase, the verbose log shows this:-
cf3> -> Finished command related to promiser "check-openmanage" --

cf3> Bulk package schedule execution ok for check-openmanage (outcome

cf3> Bulk package schedule execution ok for nagios-plugins (outcome

I would have expected two classes to be defined, not just the one.
However, what I guess is happening is that as the package installation
operations are being lumped together, only a single "install" command is
being executed, so I'm seeing the class definitions get "overwritten"
somehow, and only the last class ever gets defined? My thought at the
moment is to rewrite this differently, so the class gets defined
according to a file: promise on something I expect to be in the package,
but it's a bit ugly, and I was wondering if there's a better way?
