I'm running into a weird issue with a custom package provider for PEAR. I'm using the provider I found here<https://raw.github.com/gist/305778/13f46dea6eba07e38778d7159644b4210ebe7bbe/pear.rb>and the provider itself works fine. I've got it stored on the Puppet master under /etc/puppet/modules/common/lib/provider/package/pear.rb and the puppet.conf has pluginsync = true enabled on it, however when I initially deploy a class with any packages utilizing the pear provider, Puppet throws an error that it can't find the package provider
Failed to apply catalog: Parameter provider failed: Invalid package > provider 'pear' at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/rhel-web.pp:50 > Puppet throws this error even though the file has been synchronized and is available on the computer running the puppet agent in /var/lib/puppet/lib/provider/package/pear.rb. The weird behavior occurs if I modify the pear provider (on the client, or on the puppet master) so that puppet recognizes the file has been changed and re-sync's it from the Puppet master. After the file has been re-sync'd, the class using the custom provider starts working. I've done diff comparisons of the file that is initially sent to the client and the file that it receives after the client side file is modified, and the files are identical, so I'm not sure why Puppet is failing initially and then starts working after re-transmitting that file. I've tried restarting the Puppet agent on the client and even rebooting the client and Puppet still behaves this way each time. So far I've been able to reproduce the issue every time. Currently I am using Puppet 2.7.18 on both the Puppet master and client, with 64-bit RHEL 6 on the master and 32-bit RHEL6 on the client. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
