Hi Walter,
How are you managing your sources file? If you are simply managing the
sources.list with a file resource, you can "notify" an exec that would run
the apt-get update when a change is detected, such as:
file { "/etc/apt/sources.list":
source => "puppet:///modules/source.list",
notify => Exec["apt-update"];
}
exec { "apt-update":
command => "/usr/bin/apt-get update",
}
This should help when you make changes to the sources.list file.
Another option is to use an apt pattern like the one here:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Apt_Repositories_Patterns
This will remove your sources.list and instead create individual source
files in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. It sounds like you have
pinning setup, but I am not sure that I would want everything in my
backports to be installed at a higher priority. Something like this might
be more appropriate:
Package: puppet
Pin: release a=backports
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: facter
Pin: release a=backports
Pin-Priority: 900
The above may need some tweaking, but should get you started. Hope this
helps.
