I am surprised there is no viable solution to this seemingly basic
problem... I maintain a comprehensive set of Puppet modules for our
internal software and while it hasn't been an issue yet, having two modules
attempt to install the same package (ie. openssh-clients on RHEL) is
certainly not out of the question. For my own maintained modules, this
isn't a problem, but if I incorporate a third-party module that does the
same, there's no guarantee that one of us won't have to change.
I have started using ensure_resource() but notice that with a Package
resource that "ensure => installed" and "ensure => present" are treated as
two distinct instantiations of the Package resource, even if they're
treated as equivalent in Puppet.
