Re: [Puppet Users] Variable doesn't expand properly

 the background. However, (per orig post) the result of no quotes:
 
  ...  require = Package[$packagelist],   ...
 
 was the following :
 
 warning: Not using cache on failed catalog

 warning: Configuration could not be instantiated: wrong number of
 arguments (3 for 2)
 
 I'll keep working with it, meanwhile I've bypassed using an array just

Hi,

while this won't be of much help, I'd just like to add that those
requires are spurious.

To create a symlink, all puppet requires is the parent directory
(/etc/rc.d/init.d/ is present in any case). So from my perspective, it
doesn't seem like puppet needs to process the packages or even the link
target file before it creates the link. You can safely drop the require
parameter.

Concerning the original problem - I would be interested whether
Package[$packagelist, mimedefang] works better.

Regards,
Felix

Thanks; makes sense not to use the quotes, seeing now what goes on in the
background. However, (per orig post) the result of no quotes:

 ...  require = Package[$packagelist],   ...

was the following :

 warning: Not using cache on failed catalog

... and the somewhat obscure:

 warning: Configuration could not be instantiated: wrong number of

I'll keep working with it, meanwhile I've bypassed using an array just to

Don't put $packagelist in quotes.
