I have written a custom package provider for the pkgutil utility on
Solaris 10. Pkgutil replaces pkg-get which is not deprecated. All I
did was modify the Blastwave provider to use pkgutil instead of pkg-
get. I've tried two approaches to get the provider on to the client.
First, I created a plugin. I created a module called package to
contain the plugin. The only file in the plugin is:
/etc/puppet/modules/package/plugins/puppet/provider/pkgutil/pkgutil.rb
The plugin syncs just fine to the client and the pkgutil.rb file is
placed in /var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/provider/pkgutil/
However, puppetd does not see the provider and the compilation of the
manifest fails with "Parameter provider failed: Invalid package
provider 'pkgutil' "
The second thing I tried is to create a file resource placing the
pkgutil.rb file in to the proper place on the client. Then I added a
require parameter as a default parameter to the package resource.
However, this didn't work either. My manifest looks like this:
Package {
provider => "pkgutil",
require => File["/opt/csw/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
puppet-0.24.7/lib/puppet/provider/package/pkgutil.rb"],
}
file {"/opt/csw/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/puppet-0.24.7/lib/puppet/
provider/package/pkgutil.rb":
ensure => present,
source => "puppet://puppet/files/pkgutil.rb",
}
Puppetd doesn't seem to execute the require when it encounters a
package resource such as samba. So I get the "Parameter provider
failed: Invalid package provider 'pkgutil' " error.
This seems oddly similar to this issue which doesn't seem to be
solved:

Any ideas?
