Bug #18164: pkgdmg provider broken for some packages on mountain lion
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18164

Author: Roy Nielsen
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: dmg unmount
Branch: 


This has apparently been an issue for a while.  Some packages hang, or won't 
unmount when trying to install via puppet - specifically 
Office2011-1423UpdateEN.dmg.  

Munki had a similar issue - there is a fix (in python) on the munki mailing 
list ( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/munki-dev/nD02mB7iXwM/MaJ1YU0ZMwMJ 
)

<pre>
os.environ['__CFPREFERENCES_AVOID_DAEMON'] = "1"
</pre>

Would it be possible to add this to the pkgdmg provider - just for 10.8 (and 
above)?

Adding this environment variable in code that calls puppet fixed the issue.

Thanks,
-Roy
