A slightly different tactic is to change the name of previously declared
package:
class postgresql::rhe::v8-4 inherits postgresql::base {
....
Package['postgresql'] {
name => 'postgresql84',
}
package { 'postgresql84-server':
ensure => present,
}
}
This way if you have any external classes putting a dependency on
Package['postgresql'] they don't get 'broken'.
