Question

Am using the Puppet module from https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-mysql and for some reason it keeps producing errors regarding apt-get update.

The exact error message can be found here.

For some strange reason the MySQL class is being executed first before anything else and before my apt-get update command executes.

Is there a way to ensure the command apt-update runs before my MySQL module?

I’ve tried various ways to make sure apt-update command is executed first but nothing seems to work. At line 148 I tried the following code,


package { 'mysql':

Running out of ideas on how to fix this.

config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "apt-get update --fix-missing"
