So here I am I have a base profile for my Ubuntu (Debian family) machines that invokes the class

I then invoke the class

and now Puppet is screaming that the class 'apt' cannot be invoked twice.   This seems to be a flaw in Puppet manifests to me.  How to fix?



The best practice is to not use the resource like `class { name: ... }` syntax to declare a class and instead use `include name` and letting all parameter values come from hiera via automatic parameter lookup.

That way, you can include the class as many times as you like - as the parameters are the same every time. Unfortunately, the compiler cannot do the same when classes are declared with parameters even if all places this is done use the exact same values.

While it is possible to have a single `class { name: ... }` declaration with subsequent `include name` declarations, the opposite does not work.

Hope this helps.
