Yes so this is now my code, thank you John.
$packageList = [ "${postgresBase}",
"${postgresBase}-server",
"${postgresBase}-contrib",
"${postgresBase}-devel", ]
package { "${postgresBase}-libs":
ensure => $postgresqlVersion,
}
->
package { $packageList:
ensure => $postgresqlVersion,
}
And that works, it installs the one dependency I need ahead of time and
does the rest in whatever order.
Thank you,
mjr
