Title: Message Title

Shaun created an issue   Puppet / PUP-10118 resources type fails to purge package when packages exist whose $name != $title Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 5.5.17 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Types and Providers Created: 2019/11/01 9:11 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Shaun Puppet Version: 5.5.17 Puppet Server Version: n/a (fails also on puppet apply) OS Name/Version: RHEL 7.6 Experimenting to remove unmanaged packages, I have experimented with the following stanza: resources {'package': purge => true, } Because it is not uncommon for various modules to define package resources with differing titles and names, such as: package {'http-server': name => 'apache24', ensure => 'installed', } Desired Behavior: I expect the code to display a list of packages for deletion when run with the --noop flag. Actual Behavior: The catalog fails to compile with following error when I use my example manifest: Error: Failed to apply catalog: Cannot alias Package[sl] to [nil, "sl", :yum]; resource ["Package", nil, "sl", :yum] already declared (file: /root/example.pp, line: 2) Examples: # example.pp # This causes errors because $title != $name package {'waste-of-time': name => 'sl', ensure => 'installed', }   resources {'package': purge => true, } Run puppet apply --noop example.pp to see this error yourself. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND ENSURE NOOP.   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.
