Issue #10919 has been updated by Stefan Schulte.
The problem here is that puppet in general needs a key to identify a resource
(the resource's title) und that key has to be unique. In case of the host type
the key is the hostname. So when the provider (in case of the host type we just
have one provider: `parsed`) looks through your host file, it will parse your
local host entries like this
<pre>
host { 'localhost':
ip => '127.0.0.1',
host_aliases => [ 'localhost.localdomain', 'localhost4',
'localhost4.localdomain4' ],
}
host { 'localhost':
ip => '::1',
host_aliases => [ 'localhost.localdomain', 'localhost6',
'localhost6.localdomain6' ],
}
</pre>
So the provider comes up with two resources called localhost and puppet will
just pick one and drop the other (that is what the message is trying to tell
you).
I hope the cause of the message is now clear, however you are right that this
message is not very helpful. The ultimate solution is of course to somehow
support the usecase where you want to manage multiple entries in your host file
with the same name.

Bug #10919: puppet resource host generates a warning that is not clear
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10919
Author: Ryan Coleman
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: ralsh
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6
Keywords:
Branch:
Consider an /etc/hosts file that looks like this:
<pre>
[root@puppet ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.121.132 puppet.puppetlabs.vm
</pre>
Executing 'puppet resource host' to inspect this file produces the following
output:
<pre>
[root@puppet ~]# puppet resource host
warning: Host localhost found in both parsed and parsed; skipping the parsed
version
host { 'localhost':
ensure => 'present',
host_aliases => ['localhost.localdomain', 'localhost4',
'localhost4.localdomain4'],
ip => '127.0.0.1',
target => '/etc/hosts',
}
host { 'puppet.puppetlabs.vm':
ensure => 'present',
ip => '192.168.121.132',
target => '/etc/hosts',
}
</pre>
What is the warning trying to tell me?
I'm using a vanilla CentOS 6 machine with PE2 installed.
