Isn't it! Applying that resource fails in the same way: as requested here's the output though debugging doesn't seem to add anything, which is a bit odd.
[root@nodename steph]# puppet apply --debug --verbose -e 'file { "/tmp/test": ensure => link, target => "/tmp/test-target" }' Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/hostname.rb Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/memory.rb Info: Loading facts in /var/lib/puppet/lib/facter/enumerate_xen_disks.rb Error: Parameter ensure failed on File[/tmp/test]: Provider must have features 'manages_symlinks' to set 'ensure' to 'link' at line 2 Wrapped exception: Provider must have features 'manages_symlinks' to set 'ensure' to 'link' [root@nodename steph]# Running that on one of the functioning nodes and I get reams of debugging output as I'd expect so it looks like there's something curious with the environment, I just don't know what.
