Issue #3081 has been updated by Markus Roberts.

Target version changed from 0.25.4 to 0.25.5

The problem is the inconsistent treatment of the trailing delimiter being 
generated between the name and the (empty) alias list.  It should either not be 
generated in the case of "host_aliases => []" or host aliases should consider 
the disparate ways of writing "no host aliases" as being in sync.

This same behavior can be seen as far back as 0.24.8, and involves code (the 
parsed file provider) that's already being considered for refactoring.  
Therefore it doesn't belong in an emergency bug fix release.

Target version: 0.25.5
Affected version: 0.25.4rc1
Keywords: 
Branch: 


I doesn't seem possible to remove and alias from the hosts file

given /etc/hosts
1.1.1.1    buildsun4u      notwanted

                host { "hosts buildsun4u" :

                        ip => "1.1.1.1",

                        name => "buildsun4u",

                        ensure => present,

                        host_aliases => absent,

                }

changes to
1.1.1.1    buildsun4u      absent

                host { "hosts buildsun4u" :
                        ip => "1.1.1.1",
                        name => "buildsun4u",
                        ensure => present,
                        host_aliases => "",
                }

changes to 
"1.1.1.1    buildsun4u      "
this is repeated on every run so /etc/hosts is constantly updated
Jan 16 18:29:29 buildsun4u puppetd[6572]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] 
(//base::default/Host[hosts buildsun4u]/host_aliases) host_aliases changed 
'absent' to ''
