[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#500848: comparison of String with 0 failed

[Jayen Ashar]

Package: puppet
Version: 0.24.4-8~bpo40+1
Severity: minor

my puppetmaster manifest has:
  tidy {
    "/c/z3208682/test_tidy":
    matches => "README.desktop",
    recurse => inf,
    require => [ File["/etc/kde-profile"], File["/etc/kderc"]];
  }

my system has:
/c/z3208682/test_tidy/
/c/z3208682/test_tidy/z3208682
/c/z3208682/test_tidy/z3208682/Desktop
/c/z3208682/test_tidy/z3208682/Desktop/README.desktop

the puppet client gets the error:
Thu Oct 02 04:52:36 +1000 2008 //Node[default]/staff/staff_readme/Tidy[/c/z3208682/test_tidy] (err): Failed to generate additional resources during transaction: comparison of String with 0 failed
