Puppet

in gentoo, package types don’t work well.

ex.

package { "vim": ensure => installed }

debug message:

debug: package provider portage: Executing '/usr/bin/eix --nocolor --format   [] []   --exact --name vim'
debug: //default/unix/Package[vim]: Changing ensure
debug: //default/unix/Package[vim]: 1 change(s)
debug: //default/unix/Package[vim]/ensure: setting present (currently absent)
debug: package provider portage: Executing '/usr/bin/emerge /vim'
err: //default/unix/Package[vim]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/emerge /vim' returned 256: Calculating dependencies  .


!!! '/vim' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.
!!! (Did you specify a version but forget to prefix with '='?)

it should be set ‘app-editors/vim’ instead of ‘/vim’. The reason is @resource[:category] is empty.

a patch is attatched.
