How about changing it to a wishlist item to make aptitude the default?

Thanks Nigel! That did the trick!
I kept searching for "package defaults", "provider defaults", and "type
defaults". Didn't expect it to be a "resource default". I also thought
it would be in the puppetd.conf, so didn't think to check the language
tutorial.
I hope aptitude becomes the default for debian, since it's a little bit
of a hassle to do things like this with apt-get.
Okay, so I think there's no actual bug here, so I'm closing this.
Thanks,
Jayen

Default the provider for the Package type to be aptitude. There's docs

I really can't find them. I've search for "default provider" (and
variants)
and still can't find it. All I can find are things saying puppet chooses
a
default provider, based on the os. I can't actually find the name nor
location of a global setting. Could you please provide a pointer?
Thanks.
(you'd get a faster response on the puppet-users list upstream)
You really should go through the Language Tutorial. It answers this
question.
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/LanguageTutorial#resource-defaults
So here is how you would set an individual package:
package { "foo":
provider => "aptitude",
...
}
and here is how you would set it as a default for all packages (unless
overridden in an individual package resource definition)
Package { provider => "aptitude", }
