This worked perfectly! Thanks!
Reading the documentation again now :)

Hi Gino,

The good news with a work in progress is that you can start all over again ;)

What you are trying to call is a define:

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/definedtypes.html

http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html#resource-collections

I would also take a look at this:
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/modules_fundamentals.html

Here's what I would do now.

1. Remove the import classes in site.pp
2. Make a module called base (or whatever name you want)
  mkdir -p /etct/puppet/modules/base/manifests
3. Create an init.pp file and copy your existing package requirements into it.
4. In your apt module (modules/apt/manifests) create an init.pp
This can be like (for now):
class apt {
}
5. Change your update exec to a class in the file apt_update.pp
Like so:
class apt::apt_update {
 exec { .....}
}

Now in your base module you would have something like this:
class base {
  include apt::apt_update
  Package [ require => Exec['apt_update']
  ]

  $package_list = ['a', 'b']

  package {$package_list: }
}

Something like that should work - but hopefully you'll get the idea. You can still use defines in require statements but the syntax is different (see docs).

Cheers,
Den
