Hi Bas, I found another flaw in the package list in cfengine: it should be updated as soon as cfengine installs/removes/updates a package. The package list works like a cache, and a cache has to be invalidated as soon as it is known dirty. This issue has bitten me a couple of times, where you ask cfengine to install a package, it is installed, and 15 minutes later cfengine tries to install it again only to be bitten by the package manager telling it that package is already installed.
