Puppet / PUP-9975 Unable to install g++ package using dpkg provider Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Components: Types and Providers Created: 2019/08/24 12:48 PM Priority: Major Reporter: Trey Dockendorf Puppet Version: 6.8.0 Puppet Server Version: NA OS Name/Version: Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04 Desired Behavior: Install "g++" package using dpkg provider Actual Behavior: I get this message:   Info: Package g++ is virtual, defaulting to binutils If I do simple "apt-get install g+", that works fine but unable to do that with changes made to dpkg provider in 6.8.0. I think the "" sign is breaking the parsing added here:   https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/package/dpkg.rb#L126   The issue was introduced in PUP-9824 I think. If I run the dpkg command being used the first line that contains a "g" is "binutils" so I think what's getting matched is just "g" and not "g++".   Reproduce: Install Puppet on Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 18.04 and try to install g++   puppet resource package g++ ensure=installed     Add Comment

Change By: Trey Dockendorf *Puppet Version: 6.8.0* *Puppet Server Version: NA* *OS Name/Version: Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 18.04* *Desired Behavior:*

Install "g++" package using dpkg provider

*Actual Behavior:* I get this message:   {noformat}

Info: Package g++ is virtual, defaulting to binutils

{noformat} If I do simple "apt-get install g++", that works fine but unable to do that with changes made to dpkg provider in 6.8.0. I think the "+ + " sign is breaking the parsing added here:

Re: Unable to install g++ package using dpkg provider

This issue is also occurring for non-regex issues. Info: Package make is virtual, defaulting to automake The package make is not virtual. I think simply Regexp.escape isn't sufficient to address this issue.
