Bug #18926: Package names not qualified by provider
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18926

Author: Ken Coar

Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.18

Branch: 


[Puppet 2.7 on RHEL6 and Fedora]

The names of packages from different providers should be namespaced/qualified 
by the provider, or else erroneous conflicts may result.

These two resources conflict:

    package {
      'foo':
        provider => yum,
    }
    package {
      'foo':
        provider => gem,
    }
    Duplicate declaration: Package[foo] is already declared; cannot redeclare

(The names are fake, obviously, to avoid clouding the issue with 'use this 
other name instead')

I tried working around it by using a different name for the resources, but no 
joy -- the name attribute **is** the namevar:

    package {
      'foo':
        name     => 'rpm-foo',
        provider => yum,
    }
    package {
      'foo':
        name     => 'gem-foo',
        provider => gem,
    }
    Duplicate declaration: Package[foo] is already declared; cannot redeclare

Someone in IRC suggested including the architecture in the RPM declaration, like

    "foo.${::architecture}":

but that is at best a hack, and breaks anyway if the package isn't architecture 
specific (*i.e.*, **`.noarch`**).
