Provider macports is not functional on this host error

[Pascal Robert]

Hi,

I'm working on our first Puppet deployment, and one of the things we want to install is the NRPE (Nagios agent) on our CentOS, Ubuntu and OS X boxes. The problem is: MacPorts don't get installs, and I get:

Error: /Stage[main]/Nagios/Package[${nagios_plugins}]: Provider macports is not functional on this host

Error: /Stage[main]/Nagios/Package[${$nrpe}]: Provider macports is not functional on this host

Error: /Stage[main]/Macosx/Package[smartmontools]: Provider macports is not functional on this host

Hi,

that's weird. What's the output of

facter -p operatingsystem

on this machine?
