Puppet users - Dec 2010 - having trouble with puppet 0.25.5 on openbsd 4.8 on amd64

My manifest includes this snippet

class app_client_openbsd {
  $app_client_pkgs_obsd = [ ''glib2-2.24.1p2'',
''gtar-1.23p1'' ]
  package { "${app_client_pkgs_obsd}":
    ensure => ''installed'',
    source =>
"http://${installserver}/openbsd/${operatingsystemrelease}/packages/${hardwaremodel}/${name}.tgz",
    }

This doesn''t work.

debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderOpenbsd: Executing
''/usr/sbin/pkg_info glib2-2.24.1p2gtar-1.23p1''
debug: /app_client_openbsd/Package[glib2-2.24.1p2gtar-1.23p1]: Changing ensure
debug: //app_client_openbsd/Package[glib2-2.24.1p2gtar-1.23p1]: 1 change(s)
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderOpenbsd: Executing
''/usr/sbin/pkg_add
http://svr.example.net/openbsd/4.8/packages/amd64/app_client_openbsd.tgz''
notice: //app_client_openbsd/Package[glib2-2.24.1p2gtar-1.23p1]/ensure: created

So why do the two strings of the two package names get smushed together instead
of being run separately?

Because the behaviour of puppet when an array is converted to a string
is to concatenate.
What you want is something like this:

package { $array: ... }

...rather than...

package { "$array": ... }

I think you will then run into the issue that $name can''t be expanded
at that point, though, which would require writing an extra define to
make it available. :(

I really thought that would work too and mocked it up but apparently it
ain''t so. I tried ''$name''
''$namevar'' ''$title'' to no avail.

https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5259 seemed germane so I updated it with
this discussion.

[eric@recury ~/sandbox/dotmac/puppet]% cat packages.pp 
  $installserver = "localhost"

  package { [ ''glib2-2.24.1p2'',
''gtar-1.23p1'' ]:
      provider => ''pkgdmg'',
      ensure => ''installed'',
      source =>
"http://${installserver}/openbsd/${operatingsystemrelease}/packages/${hardwaremodel}/${name}.dmg",
    }

Sad but true - and thanks for updating the bug report.  It helps
communicate what is hurting folks.

You can "fix" this like so:

define foo () {
  package { $name: source => "http:/.../$name" }
}

class bar {
  foo { ["one", "two"]: }
}

Not as nice, but at least you can do the array expansion stuff - and
where you needs lots of similar parameters it makes some sense to do
it that way.

Regards,
    Daniel
