Bug #12221: pkgdmg provider deletes files regardless of source
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12221

Author: Simon Hildrew

The pkgdmg provider cleans up files at the end of execution.  This is sane when 
the file is temporary (e.g. downloaded from an http URI) but not when using a 
file on an NFS mount or other local filesystem.

The error that appears is as follows:
err: /Stage[main]//Package[TeamCity]/ensure: change from absent to present 
failed: Could not set 'present on ensure: Permission denied - 
/osx/teamcity/TeamCity-6.5.3.pkg at /private/var/root/test.pp:5

The permission denied is the provider attempting to delete the file from read 
only NFS.

Despite the error the package is installed correctly and not installed on 
subsequent runs (the cookie check passes).  On an initial run however, 
dependencies are not satisfied.

Having looked at the code I believe that the unlink on pkgdmg.rb:106 should 
only be attempted if source != cached_source (i.e. a temporary file is being 
used).  This works for me and I believe is right but I haven't tested this with 
URI sources.

Workaround is to only use URI sources.
