Hi,
I'm running into the common issue of having to force an "apt-get update"
before installing packages (in my case - because the base EC2 AMI is old
and I need it to pick newer package versions).
I ended up doing the usual:
exec { 'apt-get update':
path => '/usr/bin/',
}
->
Package <| |>
(I can't use "apt::update" because it creates dependency cycles) and it
works.
But what baffles me is that I really only need "apt-get update" to execute
before "apt" packages get installed, like this:
Package <| provider = "apt" |>
But this doesn't trigger the "apt-get update".
Just as an example, I also have a Gem-provider related exec which works as
expected:
exec { 'Add Ruby Gems repo mirror':
command => 'gem source --config-file /etc/gemrc -a
http://production.cf.rubygems.org/',
unless => 'gem source --config-file /etc/gemrc | fgrep -xq
http://production.cf.rubygems.org/',
path => '/usr/bin:/bin',
}
->
Package<| provider == 'gem' |>
So why doesn't it work for the "apt" provider?
Thanks.
