Ubuntu 10.04 failed to fetch repository bug

[czerasz]

There is a bug on Ubuntu 10.04 related to the nginx repository.

The bug can be reproduced in this project after running the vm called application (vagrant up application).

The debug output contains this information:

err: /Stage[main]/Nginx::Package::Debian/Package[nginx]/ensure: change from purged to present failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/apt-get -q -y -o DPkg::Options::=--force-confold install nginx' returned 100: Reading package lists...

I have commited a solution proposal:

I have seen this issue before, and it usually goes along with not having the apt-cache updated properly. I would recommend applying an 'apt-get update' somewhere before processing this line in order to fix. Likewise, there is another module (http://github.com/jfryman/puppet-apt) you can use to automatically have apt-get update every 24 hours at a minimum, which tends to fix stale vagrant boxes.

All the best!
