Issue #3220 has been updated by eric sorenson.

Felix I'm trying to understand the implications of your fix -- is it intended 
to achieve Rob Terhaar's goals in #note-11 ? 

More directly: Does it purge all cron jobs without a corresponding crontab 
resource?

----------------------------------------
Bug #3220: cron provider doesn't purge puppet-created cron resources correctly.

Hello-

Bit of background first, we're using CentOS5 machines with puppet/puppetmaster 
25.4 from EPEL packages.
 
For some reason that I cannot determine, the following code[1] (which works on 
our development system) fails[2] on our staging system:

[1]
class crontab::cleaner {
  resources { cron: purge => true }
}

Our intent is to remove all non-managed crontab entries. 

However, when I run puppetd --test, I receive this error:

err: //crontab::cleaner/Resources[cron]: Failed to generate additional 
resources using 'generate': You must specify a name or title for resources

--trace --debug --verbose on puppetmaster and on the puppetd client[3] do not 
give any further information about the problem.
