That's not necessarily a naive assumption, but it does suggest that you haven't fully grasped the Puppet paradigm. You seem to be thinking in terms of how to persuade Puppet to execute specific commands, but you should be thinking in terms of how to accurately express the desired target state.
I think I did, but that didn't work. So, I had to get fancy.
Given that, then, declaring to Puppet that you want a package "absent" is a statement about that package alone. Declaring that you want it "purged" says that you want not only that package absent, but also all its configuration files and any other packages that depend on it.
This is indeed the critical fact that I wasn't aware of. Thanks for clearing this up. Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
