Hey, This selector expects to get a true boolean value e.g. true / false (TrueClass / FalseClass in Ruby) and that is why it is failing, since you are passing a string "true" from the fact (and all values coming from Facter are strings, even numeric values).
Grab this: https://raw.github.com/kwilczynski/puppet-functions/master/lib/puppet/parser/functions/str2bool.rb And then try: class baseline-testing::ntpd { package { "ntp": ensure => str2bool($is_virtual) ? { false => present, true => purged } } } Hope that helps :) KW On Wednesday, October 3, 2012 2:43:01 AM UTC+1, Matt wrote: > > I too have been pushed into Puppet 3.0.
