Issue #5421 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
Ah now I understand. So your patch definitely only affects File resources that are symlinks? and works happily whether you specify the target with ensure or target ? ---------------------------------------- Feature #5421: Fileresource: Link should autorequire target https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5421 Author: Stefan Schulte Status: Needs More Information Priority: Normal Assignee: Stefan Schulte Category: file Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: When you manage links with puppet it's possible that you have to define explicit requires. Example: file { '/foo/bar': ensure => directory, } file { '/link': ensure => link, target => '/foo/bar', } This works, because you can create a dead link. But if you now do file { '/link/i_dont_care_it_was_a_link': ensure => file, } this fileresource does autorequire the link, but you cannot be sure, that the target exists. I would like that `File['/link']` autorequires `File['/foo/bar']`.
