Bug #1825: Cannot create symlink with file type when links => follow is set
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1825

Author: jbq

Affected version: 0.24.6
Keywords: 


I have trouble creating symlinks with the following recipe:

<pre>
# Default behaviour for file type:
# Do not copy symlinks as-is, copy the target
File {
  links => follow
}

file { "/usr/share/tonio/app/pre":
    ensure => "/var/www/tonio.com/pre"
}

notice: Ignoring cache
info: Caching catalog at /var/lib/puppet/state/localconfig.yaml
notice: Starting catalog run
notice: 
//Node[nc_webserver]/webserver/web_server/File[/usr/share/tonio/app/pre]:

notice: 
//Node[nc_webserver]/webserver/web_server/File[/usr/share/tonio/app/pre]: Not

err: 
//Node[nc_webserver]/webserver/web_server/File[/usr/share/tonio/app/pre]/ensure:

</pre>

I guess Puppet does not like when I combine "links => follow" with creating a 
symlink with ensure.  Follow should be ignored in this case.
