I've seen a couple of instances where a service resource has failed with an
error because it's
been evaluated before its corresponding package is installed. I can fix
this by adding an explicit
require to the service resource, or by just running puppet again, but I
thought that there would be
an implicit or automatic require from a service object to the associate
service object.
Here's an example class where I've seen this, although it only happens when
I have this class
as part of a larger overall manifest and I'm commissioning a new system.
class tftp_server {
package { 'tftpd-hpa':
ensure => installed,
}
service { 'tftpd-hpa':
ensure => running,
enable => true,
hasstatus => true,
hasrestart => true,
}
file { '/srv/tftp':
ensure => 'directory',
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => '0644',
require => Package['tftpd-hpa'],
source => 'puppet:///modules/tftp_server/tftp',
recurse => true,
purge => true,
ignore => '.svn',
}
}
Note that there is no notify/subscribe between the file object and the
service object. Perhaps
that's why I get the problem?
What I see is:
info: Applying configuration version '1358616112'
...
err: /Stage[main]/Tftp_server/Service[tftpd-hpa]: Could not evaluate: Could
not find init script for 'tftpd-hpa'
...
notice: /Stage[main]/Tftp_server/Package[tftpd-hpa]/ensure: ensure changed
'purged' to 'present'
...
In http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/ordering.html, it says "Some of
Puppet’s resource types will notice
when an instance is related to other resources, and they’ll set up
automatic dependencies", but it doesn't
state exactly what resources this relates to. I'd expected service/package
to be one of the examples though.
I'm running puppet 2.6.2 on Debian Squeeze with Ruby 1.8.7.
