Issue #12179 has been updated by Steve Shipway.
Here's another related option that would be useful -- being able to have
'onlyif=>installed' on a package resource.
This way, I could do something like --
package { 'apache': ensure=>'>=2.0', onlyif=>installed }
to make sure that, *if* apache is installed, it is at least version 2.0.
This allows you to make sure certain vulnerable versions of a package are not
installed on any system without having to install them everywhere.
----------------------------------------
Feature #12179: Package resource should allow ensure=>">1.0" or ensure=>"<0.10"
as well as 'latest', 'installed' and specific version number

It would be helpful if the 'ensure' parameter to the Package resrouce could
also specify 'at least version **x**' and 'no later than version **y**' as well
as 'latest version', 'installed' (IE, any version) or a specific version number.
EG:
package { 'foo': ensure=>'>1.0' }
would act as 'latest' if the current package was uninstalled or version before
1.0, but would act as 'installed' otherwise. Similarly,
package { 'foo': ensure=>'<4.0' }
would act as 'installed' if version is <4.0 but would produce an error
otherwise.
This would allow us to set a manifest to avoid packages with known problems in
a certain version, but not upgrade unless necessary.
