I'm not sure exactly what your trying to achieve by getting the provider but I give it a shot at it anyway.
In order to get debugging info from puppet you would use a notice. http://www.puppetcookbook.com/posts/simple-debug-messages.html So if you wanted to have your EL systems tell you they installed a package with yum and you Debian systems to tell you they installed it with apt-get try. package { "foo": ensure => present, } if osfamily == "RedHat" { notify { 'Installed with Yum': require =>Package['foo'], } if osfamily == "Debian" { notify { 'Installed with apt-get': require =>Package['foo'], } Hope this helps.
