Hi!

I've got a simple file and exec resource coupling that does not seem
to be working as expected:

   file { "/etc/postfix/transport":
     source  => "puppet:///private/etc/postfix/transport",
   }

   exec { "rebuild_transport_index_for_mailman":
     command     => "postmap /etc/postfix/transport",
     path        => "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin",
     subscribe   => File["/etc/postfix/transport"],
     refreshonly => true,
   }

The above postmap command should create the file "/etc/postfix/transport.db".

I restart puppet on the node and the exec is not run:

Aug 10 09:16:11 lists puppet-agent[1099]: Starting Puppet client version 2.6.2
Aug 10 09:16:13 lists puppet-agent[1099]:
(/Stage[main]/Mailman::Service/Service[mailman]/ensure) ensure changed
'stopped' to 'running'
Aug 10 09:16:18 lists puppet-agent[1099]: Finished catalog run in 5.43 seconds

Of course the "transport.db" does not get created:

% ls -alhrt /etc/postfix

drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4.0K Aug 10 09:11 .

Any ideas of how to debug this?

You already have all the information. "/etc/postfix/transport" didn't change, and thus didn't notify the exec, which didn't run.

Make a trivial edit to transport, then puppet will overwrite the file and trigger the exec.
