Thank you John, You were of course correct, I did have another bleachbit
module floating around. After I initially installed puppet, bumbling around
not really knowing what I was doing, I started to work in the
/home/tony/.puppetlabs area. Later, can't remember why now, I switched to
/etc/puppetlabs. However, I'd left a bleachbit module behind and as
/home/tony/.puppetlabs was first in the modulepath, it was using that
version and quite legitimately ignoring my new version.
Also I tided up the notify statement (actually I only just added the notify
bit as I thought it may a dependency issue and didn't run that particular
version against puppet-lint so I expect that would have got picked up).
Thanks again. Seems obvious now but I guess when you're working on
something new, it's easy to get confused. Anyway, one good thing, I learnt
quite a lot trying to troubleshoot the problem!! I'll stop waffling now....
