Issue #1358 has been updated by Fujin.
Category set to language
Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs more information
Assigned to set to luke
I can verify this behaviour; Luke, could you please clarify if you'd like this
accepted (and thus eventually fixed, perhaps renaming the alias parameter to
the host{} type.. so we can keep the alias metaparameter functional for this
type, while still providing the ability to manage multiple 'aliases' per host{}?

Bug #1358: Unable to replace host "X" with host "Y" and alias "X"
http://reductivelabs.com/redmine/issues/show/1358

Affected version: 0.24.4
An excerpt from
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/8ed1b795b8b46661
Right after a host called "foo" is built, just
before the first puppet run, the /etc/hosts file contains the following entry:
<pre>
1.2.3.4 foo
</pre>
However, in order to match the information that is in DNS, I want the line to
look like this:
<pre>
1.2.3.4 somedomain.com foo.colo.domain foo
</pre>
Let's try to keep aside the discussion of whether that is actually a sane thing
to do, I'm still just experimenting. Let's focus on what may be necessary to
make puppet replace the existing line with what I want there to be. I added
something like this to the manifest:
<pre>
host { foo: ensure => absent }
host { "somedomain.com":
ip => "1.2.3.4",
alias => [ "foo.colo.domain", "foo" ]
}
</pre>
However, surprisingly (or maybe not), what I get is just an early failure:
<pre>
Host[somedomain.com] is already being managed
</pre>
This is because of the dual purpose of "alias" param/metaparam.
I think this may be related to #1221
