Bug #3349: aptitude provider claims to have upgraded package when it has not
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3349

Author: Paul Lathrop
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: package
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.25.4
Keywords: aptitude
Branch: 


We recently switched to the aptitude provider and upgraded to 0.25.4; we 
noticed that some machines were continuously stating they were upgrading a 
package. When we investigated we found that aptitude was failing to find the 
specified version of the package, but puppet was not detecting this error, and 
was doing two things:

1) erroneously claiming to have upgraded the package to the specified version
2) sending a notification to subscribed resources

This seems like a pretty nasty issue.
