This is a problem that you were warned about. You have two conflicting rules about the same file; one rule says "it must contain exactly two lines, no more and no less -- the two lines must be 'testme' and 'hmm what does this do'"; the other rule says "it must contain a line that says 'works'". You can't simultaneously satisfy both rules, but puppet tries as hard as it can, removing the "works" line when it focuses on the "file" rule, and reinstating the "works" line when it focuses on the "append" rule. --apb (Alan Barrett) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
