I know this is not a Ruby mailing list but I am completely stumped.
I''m writing a custom package provider for the tazpkg tool used in
Slitaz Linux (http://www.slitaz.org/en/). I used the dpkg and apt
package providers as templates.
The provider can install a package just fine, the problem comes when a
package is already installed and should not be installed again. It
seems my REGEX is not matching any of the installed packages in the
list and just tries to do an install again.
I know the problem must lie in the REGEX used by the self.parse_line
method as puppet always returns no matches. Please see below for
sample output from querying tazpkg and the errors puppet is throwing.
In my example I want to ensure the screen package is installed, as you
can see in the output puppet fails to match it and installs it again.

Below is a sample of what the ''tazpkg list'' command outputs:

Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated!
