I want to have a dependency on whether or not a package is installed. I
see in the package type that there is a ''status'', that can
presumably be
read. How can I use that in my recipe?
For example, something like:
if Package["syslog"] => installed {
file "/etc/syslog.conf" {
blah blah
}
}
Thanks!
David

Ah, but I don''t want to ensure that the package is installed. In fact, sometimes it won''t be - on purpose. And I want to change the recipes behavior based on that fact.

The alternative is to write two versions of the manifest; one where you force it installed like Peter suggested, and one where you ensure it''s absent. -Doug
