Re: [Puppet Users] dpkg in puppet returns 2 but at command line returns 0
Thanks! adding /usr/sbin and /sbin seems to have fixed it.

The last time someone reported a problem like this on the mailing list,
it was because the command had to run a subcommand which was not in
PATH.
In particular, `dpkg --configure' runs postinst scripts for packages
and these might do absolutely anything... at the very least I would
expect that /usr/sbin and /sbin probably need to be in PATH too :-)

Has anyone ever seen this before or have any insights?
It's almost got to be something related to your environment or your
access (i.e., the user you run the commands as).

[Puppet Users] dpkg in puppet returns 2 but at command line returns 0
I have an exec defined as
exec {"dpkg --configure -a":
path => "/usr/bin:/bin",
user => root
}
puppet complains:
Exec[dpkg --configure -a]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: dpkg
--configure -a returned 2 instead of one of [0]
but when I run dpkg --configure -a outside puppet it returns 0.
Has anyone ever seen this before or have any insights?
thanks!
