Bug #11968: Errors from Exec resources when source param of a File resource is
a softlink

If the location pointed to by source=> in a file{} resource is a softlink, and
you do not have links=>follow, then you get some wierd errors relating to
getcwd appearing. This is understandable but it should probably give a more
helpful error message.
I have reliably duplicated this with
file { "/usr/local/nrpe":
ensure=>present, replace=>yes, recurse=>true, recurselimit=>2,
backup=>false, force=>true,
ignore=>'.svn',
owner=>root, group=>root, mode=>0755,
sourceselect=>all,
source=>[
"puppet:///modules/nrpe/plugins/$operatingsystem.$architecture",
],
}
If the puppet: link points to a softlink you get all the Exec errors about
getcwd. Replacing with a real directory, or using links=>follow, and all is OK.
err: /Stage[main]/Nrpe/File[/usr/local/nrpe]/ensure: change from directory
to link failed: Could not set 'link on ensure:
No such file or directory - getcwd at
/etc/puppet/dev/modules/nrpe/manifests/init.pp:92
err: /Stage[main]/Nrpe/Exec[etc-services-nrpe]: Could not evaluate: No such
file or directory - getcwd
All the additional errors are with Exec resources.
