Good point, I could do that too. I am actually trying to conditionally force cfengine to use apt-get, only on ubuntu_11_10, I didn't include that in examples. This is due to a bug in aptitude to do with multiarch. For now I changed the exec_command in body executor control to include '-N have_aptitude' on ubuntu_11_10 hosts which seems to work fine. Not ideal though as at least for now, while still developing my cfe policies I tend to run cf-agent by hand a lot and have to remember to add that option :P Thanks for the suggestion. ********************************************************************************************** The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
