Found a recipe that indicates the following will uninstall (equiv of apt-get remove vlc) the vlc package.
# /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/packages.pp class packages { $packages = ["vlc"] package{ $packages: ensure => absent } } When I run sudo puppetd --test I see the following sudo puppetd --test info: Retrieving plugins err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to generate additional resources during transaction: Cannot access mount[plugins] err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Cannot access mount[plugins] Could not describe /plugins: Cannot access mount[plugins] info: Caching catalog at /var/lib/puppet/state/localconfig.yaml notice: Starting catalog run notice: Finished catalog run in 0.55 seconds t...@ubuntu:~$ which vlc /usr/bin/vlc As you can see the last two lines of the paragraph indicate VLC is still installed. Googling has only produced the option of changing absent to purged, this returns the same results. I was able to successfully install vlc w/ the same recipe by changing absent to installed. Would really appreciate help on this. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
