Bug #13126: Exec's 'creates' attribute follows symlinks and treats broken links
as missing files
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13126
Author: Peter Bukowinski

Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.12rc2
Keywords:
Branch:
When an `exec` resource's `creates` attribute points to a broken symlink, the
target is treated as missing and does not prevent the exec block from running.
The following code will succeed on the first run, then fail on subsequent runs
because it's trying to recreate an existing symlink.
<pre>
puppet apply -e 'exec { "/bin/ln -s /tmp/no.file.here /tmp/test.link": creates
=> "/tmp/test.link" }'
</pre>
If this is the intended behavior, I'd like to understand the reasoning behind
it.
