Nigel, thanks for the quick response.
Avoiding the 'define':
I am not seeing a marker file being installed in /var/db. I have tried
to install the package with the standard package install using
puppet... no go. I get errors regarding the package path: ...Execution
of '/usr/sbin/installer -pkg http://server/packages/firefox.3.0.6-1.dmg
-target /' returned 1: installer: Error the package path specified was
invalid: <path>'.
The file is there and the path is correct.
Using the 'define':
I have actually made a little progress on this one. I am now getting
an hdutil error about no mountable filesystems in /tmp or /tmp/
Firefox3.0.6-1.dmg. I am seeing the puppet client doing a 'GET' from
the the web server but I am not seeing the file anywhere on the client
system. Could this be a permissions issue on the client?
Also, in all my errors, I get: 'err: //Node[default]/mac-firefox/
Pkg_deploy[Firefox3.0.6-1.dmg]/Package[Firefox3.0.6-1.dmg]/ensure:
change from absent to present failed:
Thanks again for your help.
