Description

It seems a resource alias is only usable in dependencies. Example:

@package {"coreutils": alias => "foo", ensure => installed }
realize Package["foo"]

Result:

Failed to realize virtual resources Package[foo] on node feh

I would expect it to work. Testing was done on 0.25.5.

I can tell you that this will work:

@file { "/tmp/foo": ensure => "present", alias => "foobar" }
File <| alias == "foobar" |>

It’s the specific syntax of using ‘alias’ in place of ‘name’ that doesn’t work.
