Hi Experts,

I need your help in below requirement.
*Requirement*
I need to create a file (xxx_logrotate.conf) with content as below 

                        /xx/xx/xx.log {

                                                             weekly

                                                             copytruncate

                                                             rotate 8

                                                             compress

                                                            maxage 180

                                                            missingok

                                                            }


2. Create the symlink for above create file xxx_logrotate.conf to 
/etc/logrotate.d/xxx_logrotate.conf


*My approach*


1. I went ahead creating the file with using erb tempalte for adding the 
file content but when I create a new resource to create the symlik for the 
source and target. The puppet run fails with duplicate file resource 


  file { 'xxx-log-rotation-config-file':

    ensure                  => 'present',

    path                    => '/xxx/conf/xxx_logrotate.conf',

    content                 => template('aaa/xxx_logrotate.conf.erb'),

    owner                   => 'root',

    group                   => 'root',    

  }


  file { '/xxx/conf/xxx_logrotate.conf':

    ensure                  => 'link',

    target                  => '/etc/logrotate.d/xxx_logrotate.conf',

    require                 => File['xxx-log-rotation-config-file'],    

  }


The puppet run fails for above code with below error 

Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, 
Duplicate declaration: File[/xxx/conf/mysql_logrotate.conf] is already 
declared in file 
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/xxx/manifests/postinstall.pp:46;
 
cannot redeclare at 
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/xxx/manifests/postinstall.pp:54
 
at 
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/xxx/manifests/postinstall.pp:54:3
 



Is there a better way of handling this without any issue using file 
resource?
