you are making a link to a file called
"/opt/tomcat/${name}/${software}/${tomcat_version}";
under the directory comments you use the name:
"/opt/tomcat/${name}/${software}/tomcat_${version}";
(which is the same name used for the link)
maybe this is the mistake?

I agree that its confusing that it shows the same line number for both of
the duplicate references. I can see if there is an issue open.

Here is the code that I think you want
1. #
2. # Make a symlink for tomcat.
3. #
4. "/opt/tomcat/${name}/${software}/tomcat-${version}":
5. require => Package["apache-tomcat-${name}-${software}"],
6. ensure =>
"/opt/tomcat/${name}/${software}/${tomcat_version}";
7.
8. #
9. # Make sure that the base Tomcat directory for this instance
exists.
10. #
11. "/opt/tomcat/${name}/${software}/${tomcat_version}":
12. require => Package["apache-tomcat-${name}-${software}"],
13. owner => tomcat, group => tomcat,
14. ensure => directory,
