Issue #5517 has been updated by Clinton Ooi.

Same here. My current work around is to convert those classes to defined-type.

<pre>
# nodes.pp
node basenode {
    base_packages::sshd { "sshd":
         listen_addresses   => ["${::ipaddress_eth0}:22", 
"${::ipaddress_ib0}:22"],
         permit_root_login  => "no"
    }
}

node mynode inherits basenode {
    Base_packages::Sshd["sshd"] {
         listen_addresses   +> ["${::ipaddress_eth1}:2222"]
    }
}

# init.pp
define base_packages::sshd ( $listen_addresses = [],
                             $permit_root_login = "yes" ) {
    # do stuff here.
}

</pre>

Bug #5517: behavior change within 2.6 makes it impossible to override class 
parameters of "included" parametrized classes
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5517#change-66895

Author: Peter Meier
Status: Accepted
Priority: High
Assignee: Nick Lewis
Category: language
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.6.3
Keywords: parameterized_classes
Branch: 


In 2.6.1 the following recipe:

<pre>
class a(
  $b_c = { 'b' => 'foo' }
) {
  notice $a::b_c
  if $a::b_c {
    notice $a::b_c['b']
  }
}

class b {
  class{'a': b_c => false }
}

class b::c inherits b {
  Class['a']{ b_c => { 'b' => 'bleh' } }
}

class b::d {
  include ::b::c
}

include b::d
</pre>

produces the following output:

<pre>
$ puppet foo.pp 
notice: Scope(Class[A]): bbleh
notice: Scope(Class[A]): bleh
</pre>

Which is what I expected. However with 2.6.3 it produces the following output:

<pre>
# puppet foo.pp 
notice: Scope(Class[A]): false
</pre>

Imho likely the changes for #4778 and #5074 are responsible for that behavior 
change.

However this makes it impossible to overwrite parameters of a "included" 
parametrized class in a subclass. There are only ugly workarounds for that 
problem and I think this should actually work as it did within 2.6.1. Otherwise 
the usefulness of parametrized classes is quite reduced.
