Puppet users - Aug 2013 - It's my mistake or a bug about define a variable in class?

Version: puppet-3.2.3-1.el6.noarch.rpm
--------------------------
 
I just try to create a class as parameters container like this:
 
cat > /etc/puppet/modules/ssh/manifests/params.pp << EOF
class ssh::params {
    $ssh_package_name = $::operatingsystem ? {
        ''solaris'' => ''openssh'',
        ''centos'' => ''openssh-server'',
    }
}
EOF
 
but there is an error in agent like this:
 
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Syntax error at ''=''; expected ''}'' at 
/etc/puppet/modules/ssh/manifests/params.pp:2 on node 
basecentos.mhszdomain.com
 
I saw it in the manual like this:
---------------------------Error again...
$group = $operatingsystem ? {
    solaris => ''sysadmin'',
    default => ''wheel'',
}
 
then I try different type of it:
 
---------------------------Error again...
class ssh::params {
    $ssh_package_name = $::operatingsystem ? {
        ''solaris'' => ''openssh'',
        ''centos'' => ''openssh-server''
    }
}
---------------------------Error again...
class ssh::params {
    $ssh_package_name = $::operatingsystem ? {
        solaris => ''openssh'',
        centos => ''openssh-server'',
    }
}
---------------------------Error again...
class ssh::params {
    $ssh_package_name = $::operatingsystem ? {
        solaris => ''openssh'',
        ''centos'' => ''openssh-server'',
    }
}
---------------------------Error again...
class ssh::params {
    $sshss = $operatingsystem ? { solaris => ''openssh'' }
}
---------------------------Error again...
class ssh::params {
    $sshss = $operatingsystem ? { ''solaris'' =>
''openssh'' }
}

so..what happens? does anyone could help me?

Something seems very broken here.  Selectors (the feature you are trying to 
use) have been in the Puppet language for a long time, and they work fine 
all over the place.  I doubt there are many Puppet sites that don''t use
them.

What strikes me as odd is that the Puppet parser complains about the
''=''
sign, which is not part of the selector expression.  Do you still get the 
error with something like

class ssh::params {
  $ssh_package_name = ''ssh''
}

?  Does it help (or change anything) if you put the whole selector 
expression in parentheses?

Is there any chance that you are getting unexpected (by Puppet) 
non-printing characters in your manifest files when you create them via I/O 
redirection as you show?  That wouldn''t happen in the POSIX or C
locale,
but perhaps it could in some other locales, under some circumstances.

Could the problem be the variable name : "group" ? 

That is a Puppet Type 

Try changing it. 

Hope this helps. Just a wild guess.
