Issue #2475 has been updated by Luke Kanies. Status changed from Unreviewed to Duplicate
I *think* this is a duplicate of #2348, in that we're testing for provider suitability at startup rather than when we get to the resource. Once we fix that, please reopen this if it's still a problem. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2475: cron types fail hard when cron isn't installed http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2475 Author: seph seph Status: Duplicate Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.8 Keywords: On ubuntu, using 0.24.8 from the debian packages.
