Issue #6856 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
Here's a caller list from where the issue crops up:
<pre>
from type.rb
401 def []=(name,value)
402 STDERR.puts "NBK: Caller: #{caller.join("\n")}"
403 name = attr_alias(name)
</pre>

----------------------------------------
Bug #6856: File{ links=> manage} doesn't work with dangling symlinks.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6856
Author: Ben Hughes
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee:
Category: file
Target version: 2.6.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.0
Keywords:
Branch:
Simple test case:
<pre>
mkdir /tmp/1 /tmp/2
( cd /tmp/1 ; ln -s ../README ./README )
puppet apply <<-EOF
file { "/tmp/2":
source => "/tmp/1",
recurse => true,
links => manage,
}
EOF
</pre>
Output:
<pre>
info: Applying configuration version '1300784868'
err: /File[/tmp/2/README]: Could not evaluate: Got nil value for content
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.02 seconds
</pre>
Worked with 0.25.5 so a regression.
