Hi. This is really strange and should not be.We use ubuntu (hardy/intrepid) a lot and package management with puppet works really well.
What ubuntu version and what puppet version?What happens if you user --verbose for puppetd? That should show you a message about the Package["vlc"] What happens if you manually uninstall vlc "aptitude remove vlc"? Some packages have strange dependencies that are first removed and then installed again if another package that depends on those should be installed (via puppet).
We use puppet 0.24.8 (from debian/unstable) and puppetmaster 0.24.8, but in all previous versions (since 0.22) we never had such problems with apt/dpkg based Linux-boxes.

So, back to my original question, how would I purge vlc and the other dependencies that are installed as a result of the original recipe?Thanks On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 8:12 PM, Scott Smith <sc...@ohlol.net> wrote: Avi Miller wrote: > Scott Smith wrote: >> Am fairly certain --test implies --dry-run and won't actually enact >> any changes. > > Sorry, but --test certainly does apply changes.
