[Puppet Users] [puppet-users] apt and gem package with the same name

[hernan]

I'm building a puppet manifest for an Ubuntu machine that needs to
have both of these on it:

  package { "memcached":
    provider => gem,
    ensure => "0.18.0"
  }

  package { "memcached":
    provider => apt,
    ensure => installed
  }

This fails with the following error:

err: Could not retrieve catalog: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed
with error ArgumentError: Duplicate definition: Package[memcached] is
already defined in file /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp at line 313;
cannot redefine at /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:221 on node mynode

How do I get around this?

thanks!
Hernan
