Issue #11968 has been updated by Steve Shipway.
My problem with this is not so much that the file{} resource fails (though an
error of the form "use 'link' option to support soft links" might help), but
more that the subsequent Exec resources fail even though they are unrelated to
the File resource.

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.
