Duplicate declaration due to contain ::apt about puppet-unattended_upgrades HOT 6 CLOSED

@HT43-bqxFqB I've changed the contain to include and this is included in new release 3.0.1

In your code, switch the order of unattended_upgrades and apt in your manifest (physical order in the file, not require/before style ordering). You should no longer get a duplicate resource error.

Works perfect now, thanks! I don't get why the order in the manifest matters due to puppet being stateless o_O
Thanks again!

The evaluation order can be important when a catalog is being compiled. A class can be ‘ ‘included’ multiple times, but once it’s been added to the catalog, you can’t declare it ‘resource-style’. When an agent applies a catalog, then it’s all about the resource relationships.

Your other option was to use hiera to configure apt and then not explicitly declare it yourself at all.

I was not aware that the evaluation order on compilation was important. Thanks for that tip!

yeah, try referencing variables from other classes before they've been parsed... :)
