apt-get installing packages with dependencies

[Puppet Muppet]

Hi,

I'm having trouble installing packages that have dependencies. (I can install packages like zip fine.)

for example I would like to install s3cmd.

Installing from command line I would run.

#apt-get -y -o APT::Install-Suggests="true" install s3cmd

which will install python-support & s3cmd.

My init.pp files looks like this 

###

class build {

file {'/home/ubuntu/puppet-test-build-mod-1':

  ensure  => present,

  content => "Hello World!",

    }

}

      package { 's3cmd':

        ensure => installed,

      }

##

Is there any way to force the installation of a packages that has dependencies?

Many thanks,

PM

The source of your problem is unlikely to be Puppet. If you apply your
package statement the package provider should run

/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold install s3cmd

and your apt/history.log should show

Start-Date: 2013-11-17 06:34:25
Commandline: /usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold
install s3cmd
Install: python-support:amd64 (1.0.14ubuntu2, automatic), s3cmd:amd64
(1.0.0-1)
End-Date: 2013-11-17 06:34:26
