Issue #11805 has been updated by Matt Robinson.
Assignee changed from Kelsey Hightower to Matt Robinson
Here's more details about interactions of the --force flag
`puppet module install`
The Story: "Install makes the module usable, without breaking the system."
<pre>
Module not installed
Module has no dependencies
=> Module gets installed
Module has dependencies
Dependencies not installed
=> Module gets installed
=> All dependencies get installed
Some dependencies installed (meeting requirements)
=> Module gets installed
=> Uninstalled dependencies get installed
Some dependencies installed (not meeting requirements)
Dependency requirements overlap
=> Module gets installed
=> Uninstalled dependencies get installed
=> Unmet requirements get upgraded
Dependency requirements do not overlap
=> Installation fails
Module is installed in target directory
No `--force` flag
=> Installation fails
Provided `--force` flag
=> Installed as if not installed
Module is installed elsewhere in module path
No `--force` flag
=> Installation fails
Provided `--force` flag
=> Installed into the target directory as if not installed
Other Notes:
* Default version is `latest` / `best`.
* Default target directory is the first directory from the module path.
* Module paths can be changed by `--env` or `--modulepath`.
* Target directory can be changed by `--dir`.
* Specifying a target directory and an `--env` of `--modulepath` acts like
modulepath="$dir:$modulepath
for dependency resolution.
