Hi,

I installed puppet on a range of OpenSuSE 11.1 servers and I have a
very strange problem. I didn't find anywere on the website or on the
wiki, how I can set a default service provider. My problem is that
freebsd is used instead of redhat and the init scripts are not started
properly. Here is a snippet from the debug messages I collected from
the console.

<debug>
debug: file /sbin/rc-update does not exist
debug: file /usr/sbin/update-rc.d does not exist
debug: file /usr/sbin/svcadm does not exist
warning: Found multiple default providers for service: freebsd,
redhat; using freebsd
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderRpm: Executing '/bin/rpm --
version'
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/bin/rpm --

</debug>

Define the default provider in the class with the largest scope, i.e. in
site.pp.

site.pp:
case $operatingsystem {
Solaris: { Package { provider => blastwave } },
redhat: { Package { provider => yum } }
}
