----------------------------------------
Bug #8464: puppet reports a directory has been created when it has not been.
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8464

Author: Michael Johnson
Status: Unreviewed

Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.4

Branch: 


Sometimes, puppet claims a directory has been created when in fact it has not.  
If you look at the output below, you will see that puppet claims the directory 
/var/lib/ldap/dc=example,dc=com was created even though it has not been created 
as you can see from the output of the 'ls -al' commands I ran after the 
failure.  This is very disturbing as it means I cannot rely upon puppet to do 
what it is told which is obviously critical for a configuration management tool.

In this particular case, the module fails at this exact point, and other times 
completes successfully.

Regardless of if it succeds or fails, the expanded_relationships.dot file shows 
that Exec[ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f 
'/var/lib/puppet/state/modules/ldap/dc=example,dc=com-conf.ldif'] does require 
File[/var/lib/ldap/dc=example,dc=com].
