Package resource with install_options is not working as expected

[alexandra kisin]

Hello,

Trying to create manifest with package resource for debian package and want to use insstallation option --force-confnew.

The manifest is :

package { 'my_package_name':
                name => 'my_package_name',
                ensure => present,
                install_options => ['-o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew"'],
            }

When run this module on the client get an error :

Error: Execution of '/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold "-o Dpkg::Options::=\"--force-confnew\"" install my_package_name' returned 100: E: Invalid operation "-o Dpkg::Options::=\"--force-confnew\""
Error: /Stage[main]/Vnc/Package[my_package_name]/ensure: change from 'purged' to 'present' failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold "-o Dpkg::Options::=\"--force-confnew\"" install my_package_name' returned 100: E: Invalid operation "-o Dpkg::Options::=\"--force-confnew\"" (corrective)

If exactly the same command I run from terminal of the client -  it is working properly and the package successfully installed.

Thank you.

 Hi,

There's a special parameter for what you're trying to do, so you don't have to use install_options.

To pass --force-confnew to the resource you need to set configfiles => 'replace' in the manifest.

See: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/types/package.html#package-attribute-configfiles

Hope that helps,

Gabriel

Thank you so much!

I used the configfiles like you suggested and everything is working perfect now.

Thank you !
