Yes, I finally sat down and really dug into this problem and it was an
ordering thing...but it wasn't just ordering. It turned out that the
dependency issue was with postgresql92-libs. If I installed that by hand
first then I would get a clean run in puppet with all the other packages
and the version I wanted installed. The code I used to order was the
following (though I like your solution a bit better).
Package['postgresql92-libs']->Package['postgresql92-server']->Package['postgresql92-contrib']->Package['postgresql92-devel']
$packageList = [ "${postgresBase}",
"${postgresBase}-libs",
"${postgresBase}-server",
"${postgresBase}-contrib",
"${postgresBase}-devel", ]
package { $packageList:
ensure => $postgresqlVersion,
}
So the short of the story was that it was both ordering *and* a missing
package that was creating my problem.
