Author: daikinee -
Status: Closed
Priority: Low
Assignee: Nigel Kersten

Target version: 
Patch: None
Affected Puppet version: 0.24.8
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Puppet has a problem when changing a non-empty Gecos field to an empty one:

<pre>
err: //myserver/.../User[myuser]/comment: change from [[MyPreviousGecosField]] 
to  failed: interning empty string
</pre>

Here is the declaration (i'm using a define):

<pre>
    user { $name:
        ensure => present,
        uid => $id,
        gid => $name,
        groups => $groups,
        comment => "",
        require => Group[$name]
    }
</pre>

Environment: Puppet 0.23.0, Ruby 1.8.4 and RHEL4
