[Puppet Users] Could not evaluate: 'test' is not executable

[Rudy Gevaert]

Hi

I'm seeing a strange thing here.  I only have this on one machine!  3
others that are 'identical' don't have that issue...

err: /Stage[main]/Vim/Exec[update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/
vim.basic]: Could not evaluate: 'test' is not executable

class vim{

  $vim_package= "vim"

  package {
    $vim_package:
      ensure => installed,
      provider => $operatingsystem ? {
        "Solaris" => 'pkgutil',
        default => undef
      }
  }

  case $operatingsystem{
    "Debian": {
      exec { "update-alternatives --set editor /usr/bin/vim.basic":
        path => "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin",
        unless => "test /etc/alternatives/editor -ef /usr/bin/
vim.basic"
      }
    }
  }

}

Manual output:
