[Pkg-puppet-devel] Bug#866042: puppet-module-puppetlabs-postgresql: puppet apply fails due to missing version

[Paulo Almeida]

Package: puppet-module-puppetlabs-postgresql
Version: 4.8.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?

     I tried to apply a manifest that uses functions from the puppet-module-puppetlabs-postgresql package.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     I ran the command 'puppet apply <manifest>'.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

     I got the following error:

     Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, No preferred version defined or automatically detected. at /usr/share/puppet/modules/postgresql/manifests/globals.pp:126:5 on node stretch 

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     I expected the manifest to be correctly applied

   
   The fix should be very simple. I edited the file:

     /usr/share/puppet/modules.available/puppetlabs-postgresql/manifests/globals.pp

   and on line 90 I added the following:

     /^(stretch|9\.)/ => '9.6',

   Afterwards I reran puppet apply and it worked. 

   In fact, I just checked and this is already included on the puppetlabs repository:

    https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-postgresql/blob/master/manifests/globals.pp#L87
