Jira (PUP-2182) Package resource not working as expected in 3.5.0

[Joshua Cooper (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Joshua Cooper commented on an issue   Re: Package resource not working as expected in 3.5.0 Reverified the steps in https://jira.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-2182?focusedCommentId=67440&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-67440, but this time, puppet only installs the vim virtual package when allow_virtual => true as expected. The other times (when allow_virtual is not specified or false), it generates an error and does not install the package. Similarly, if the package is installed, then trying to ensure => absent only works when allow_virtual => true: [root@centos64-x64 puppet]# which vim /usr/bin/vim [root@centos64-x64 puppet]# bundle exec puppet apply -e "package { 'vim': ensure => absent, allow_virtual => false }" Notice: Compiled catalog for centos64-x64.localdomain in environment production in 0.26 seconds Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.12 seconds [root@centos64-x64 puppet]# which vim /usr/bin/vim [root@centos64-x64 puppet]# bundle exec puppet apply -e "package { 'vim': ensure => absent, allow_virtual => true }" Notice: Compiled catalog for centos64-x64.localdomain in environment production in 0.27 seconds Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Package[vim]/ensure: removed Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.18 seconds [root@centos64-x64 puppet]# which vim /usr/bin/which: no vim in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin) Also verified the zypper works similarly using tightvnc which provides vnc. With allow_virtual not specified: vagrant-opensuse-123-64:~/puppet # which vncconnect which: no vncconnect in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games) vagrant-opensuse-123-64:~/puppet # bundle exec puppet apply -e "package { 'vnc': ensure => installed }" Notice: Compiled catalog for vagrant-opensuse-123-64.corp.day.com in environment production in 0.22 seconds Warning: The package type's allow_virtual parameter will be changing its default value from false to true in a future release.
