Hi All I have a bit of a strange one, and am not sure I'm doing this right. This is with 2.6.4 on Solaris 10
We want to create a sym link from a source file that is created by a package. If the package isn't installed, puppet in noop is registering an error (big red in the dashboard) because it cannot stat the source file of the link. root@warbjohn# cat /tmp/symlink2.pp package {"somepackage": ensure => installed, } file {"/path/created/by/some/package/link": source => "/path/created/by/some/package/source", require => Package["somepackage"], } root@warbjohn# puppet --verbose --noop /tmp/symlink2.pp info: Applying configuration version '1299817006' notice: /Stage[main]//Package[somepackage]/ensure: current_value absent, should be present (noop) err: /Stage[main]//File[/path/created/by/some/package/link]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from source(s) /path/created/by/some/package/source at /tmp/symlink2.pp:7 notice: Finished catalog run in 10.63 seconds IMHO, I don't think this should be an error from noop. Is this a bug, or am I pushing my luck? Thanks John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
