> can any one explain this behavior ? You define a package resource in your define. Everytime you manage a resource with this define also an instance of the package resource is managed, so you only need to manage two resources with this define and you end up with a duplicate definition.
As puppet tries to apply the same package resource definition twice you end up with a duplicate definition on the same line. Solution: manage your package resource in its very own class and include this class into the define. This apply in general to every other managed resource in defines which are unique amongst the whole system. Which means that you don't differentiate it with an own deviated name, containing for examle $name of the define. For an example have a look at: http://git.puppet.immerda.ch/?p=module-git.git;a=blob;f=manifests/clone.pp;h=1d6a298f985aa6b79851e31b4b63403d7b2f7a9b;hb=7b1f9a68e95cd9dc877145eda08c18e233603bb8 We include the class git, which will manage the package-resource git, hence we can reference to it in the deviated exec for this define. cheers pete -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
