I can confirm Russels conclusion that it is a bug and if you don't use
"name => $operatingsystem..." is works.
In my case I need to be able to distinguish between FreeBSD and
Debian. A workaround that's working for me is to set the variables
outside the "package"-statement like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
####################
### zabbix agent ###
####################
class zabbix-agent {
case $operatingsystem {
freebsd: { $pkg_name = 'zabbix-agent' $service_name =
'zabbix_agentd' $cfg_file = '/usr/local/etc/zabbix/
zabbix_agentd.conf' }
debian: { $pkg_name = 'zabbix-agent' $service_name =
'zabbix_agent' $cfg_file = '/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf' }
default: { $pkg_name = 'zabbix-agent' $service_name =
'zabbix_agent' $cfg_file = '/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf' }
}
Package[$pkg_name] -> File[$cfg_file] -> Service[$service_name]
#######################
### Install package ###
#######################
package { $pkg_name :
ensure => installed,
}
#######################
### Get config-file ###
#######################
file { $cfg_file :
ensure => file,
checksum => md5,
owner => 'root',
group => $operatingsystem ? {
freebsd => 'wheel',
debian => 'root',
default => 'wheel',
},
mode => 644,
require => Package[$pkg_name],
source => "puppet:///modules/zabbix-agent/$hostname/
zabbix_agentd.conf",
}
#####################
### Start service ###
#####################
service { $service_name :
require => Package[$pkg_name],
ensure => running,
enable => true,
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for all your help.
