package issue for provider sun

[david boldt]

Under Solaris: when a package that I wish to insure the presence of
does not exist, apply fails with the following message:

err: /Stage[main]/Lsof::Lsof::Solaris/Package[SMClsof]: Could not
evaluate: Unable to get information about package SMClsof because of:
["ERROR: information for \"SMClsof\" was not found\n"]

The following one line change appears to fix that problem for 2.7.10.

great, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, this will probably need to
made a bug report at http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/.

You will likely be required to get a Redmine account and click to accept
a license agreement at some point down the road. Sorry for the hassle
(been there myself), but everyone would be most grateful if you went
through with it.

Thanks!

Uhm...sure? :-)

Seriously, though - can't seem to find any.

Cheers,
