You'll want to create the file using file{} and then add require =>
File['/path/to/file'] so that the file is created before Puppet tries
to modify it.
You can do that with less typing by using the -> operator. For example:
file { '/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf':
ensure => file,
mode => '0644', # adjust as needed
owner => 'root', # adjust as needed
group => 'root', # adjust as needed
}->
file_line { 'hash_glamor':
path => '/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamor.conf',
line => '# Load "glamoregl"',
match => 'Load "glamoregl"',
}
