[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#516043: links fails to be managed by file with recurse => inf

[Jayen Ashar]

Package: puppet
Version: 0.24.7-1
Severity: normal

from my pp file:
    file {
        "/etc/cups":
            source => "puppet:///files/staff/etc/cups",
            recurse => inf;
    }

from puppet:///files/staff/etc/cups/ppd:
-rw-r--r-- 1 lp   lp   146989 2009-02-19 10:05 km-c451.clr.ppd
-rw-r--r-- 1 lp   lp   146989 2009-02-19 10:12 km-c451.bw.ppd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     15 2009-02-19 10:13 prtom.clr.ppd -> km-c451.clr.ppd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     14 2009-02-19 10:13 prtom.ppd -> km-c451.bw.ppd

on the puppet client, in /etc/cups/ppd:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     15 2008-12-05 22:06 prtom.ppd -> lex-c762.bw.ppd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     15 2009-02-19 09:52 prtom.clr.ppd -> km-c451.clr.ppd
-rw-r--r-- 1 lp   lp   146989 2009-02-19 10:05 km-c451.clr.ppd
-rw-r--r-- 1 lp   lp   146989 2009-02-19 10:14 km-c451.bw.ppd

it appears to ignore the update to prtom.ppd.
