File_line[disable-tools-version]: Could not evaluate: can't convert Hash into String

[akomakom]

I recently upgraded my stdlib module to puppetlabs-stdlib (v4.16.0) from (v4.6.0). As a consequence, vmwaretools no longer works. I reverted back to 4.6.0 and there is no error.

My guess is that Package[$package_real] seems to be the issue, since that's the only relevant Hash. Note that in the output, Puppet may be choosing not to add the Package to the catalog.

• CentOS 6
• Puppet 3.8.7
• puppetlabs-stdlib (v4.16.0)
• razorsedge-vmwaretools (v6.0.0)

Usage:

class{ "vmwaretools": ensure => 'absent' }

Error:

I attempted to verify that ensure is set to a value for the Package[$package_real] resource by adding this to init.pp:

notify{"Package ensure is ${package_ensure}":}

And the printout confirms that the value is "absent" and not undef.
