[Trey Dockendorf (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Trey Dockendorf created an issue   Puppet / PUP-9975 Unable to install g++ package using dpkg provider Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Components: Types and Providers Created: 2019/08/24 12:48 PM Priority: Major Reporter: Trey Dockendorf Puppet Version: 6.8.0 Puppet Server Version: NA OS Name/Version: Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04 Desired Behavior: Install "g++" package using dpkg provider Actual Behavior: I get this message:   Info: Package g++ is virtual, defaulting to binutils If I do simple "apt-get install g+", that works fine but unable to do that with changes made to dpkg provider in 6.8.0. I think the "" sign is breaking the parsing added here:   https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/package/dpkg.rb#L126   The issue was introduced in PUP-9824 I think. If I run the dpkg command being used the first line that contains a "g" is "binutils" so I think what's getting matched is just "g" and not "g++".   Reproduce: Install Puppet on Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 18.04 and try to install g++   puppet resource package g++ ensure=installed     Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
