[Puppet Users] why do I get ensure changed ''purged'' to ''present'' on a package when it is already installed

Hi all,

I have created a squid class that also installs squidGuard.  When I
run puppetd I always get

notice: //Node[xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx]/squid/squid::install/
Package[squidGuard]/ensure: ensure changed ''purged'' to
''present''

even though the package is already installed - why is this change in
package status happening as it then triggers my exec resource which is
only supposed to run the first time when squidguard is installed
(thereafter it is run as a cron job).  So at the moment it is
triggered every time puppetd is run

exec { "/usr/local/bin/getblacklist.sh":
        subscribe => Package["squidGuard"],
        refreshonly => true
        }


Regards

Tim

also, what version of Puppet are you running? what platform?

Ran in debug and the problem was with the

/usr/bin/dpkg-query -W --showformat ''${status} ${Package}
${Version}\n''
squidGuard

when I run this on command line I get
No packages found matching squidGuard

If I run it again using the correct package name of squidguard rather
than squidGuard I get

install ok installed squidguard 1.2.0-8.4

so I changed my manifest file to use squidguard rather than squidGuard
problem solved.  Thanks

So why was squidGuard installed in first place so I apt-get remove
squidguard, set my manifest back to squidGuard and it reinstalled, did
the same again with -debug to find the system call which was

/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold install
squidGuard

ran this on the command line and it install squidguard

also ran the lowercase version

/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold install
squidguard

and this installed as well.

Then likely the underlying cause and solution are also the same as the OP 
already posted.
