Installing and using a Puppet-Module

[ytmp123]

Hi guys,

I need your help: I'm trying to install the "puppetlabs/apt"-module and using it at the same time in the same file. As that module is not installed I get this error message:
"Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error Argument error: Invalid resource type apt::force at /etc/puppet/modules/puppet_install/manifests/install_puppet_master.pp

Can anyone give me some hint?

It's a good question, but I'm not sure this is possible. If the module isn't installed before compilation, then any resource types defined by ths module will be absent and the catalog won't compile.

Are you trying to use puppet to install itself? If so, then the snake may be eating its own tail.
