Issue #4976 has been updated by mark foster.
I have the basic modification of type/package.rb
diff --git a/lib/puppet/type/package.rb b/lib/puppet/type/package.rb
index 51a8663..81b3d6b 100644
--- a/lib/puppet/type/package.rb

+ newvalues(:true, :false)

newparam(:category) do
desc "A read-only parameter set by the package."
end
However I was unable to find a reference to 'force' in the provider/file/*.rb
which is confusing since I know force is a valid option for type file.
Can you point me to some suitable reference using 'force' within a provider?
