Issue #14560 has been updated by Russell Jackson.
For example, I need to stay on mcollective 1.2 under squeeze. I could just
ensure 1.2, but
then some idiot (me) will go and do an apt-get upgrade and screw everything up.
Holding the
package seems like it would be the obvious solution, but I can't do both at the
same time with the
package resource; hence, the following atrocity:
exec { "install-mcollective":
command => "/usr/bin/apt-get -qq install mcollective=1.2.1-1",
unless => "/usr/bin/dpkg --get-selections mcollective | /bin/grep -qE
'install|hold'",
}
package { "mcollective":
ensure => held,
require => Exec['install-mcollective'],
}

Bug #14560: package/apt provider needs to allow holding and ensuring a
particular version at the same time
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14560#change-64468
Author: Russell Jackson
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: Debian
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.14
Keywords: debian apt dpkg package hold held
Branch:
The package provider needs to be able to ensure a particular version of a
package while also being able to set a hold status simultaneously. Currently,
I'm forced to use an exec to install the package and then have the package
provider ensure it being held. I can do it the other way around, but then I get
change notices about the package version changing from 'held' to the ensured
version on every run.
