Puppet users - Aug 2011 - aptitude provider ignores some bad package names

Hi,

for some (mistyped?) bad package names the aptitude provider does not fail.
Example manifest:

Package {
     provider => ''aptitude'',
     ensure   => ''latest'',
}

package {"qt4":
   ensure => latest,
}

# puppet agent --test
...
notice: /Stage[main]//Package[qt4]/ensure: ensure changed
''purged'' to ''latest''
...

# aptitude install qt4

Couldn''t find package "qt4", and more than 40
packages contain "qt4" in their name.

If I use "foobar" as package name it complains about non-existing
package.
