comment property does not work

[linuxdan]

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter comment on Sysctl[net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects] at /etc/puppet/modules/System_config/manifests/init.pp:252 on node devserver.example.com

Can you show your Puppet code please?

[linuxdan]

Like this:

    sysctl { 'net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_redirects':
        ensure    => 'present',
        value     => '0',
        comment => "Disable ipv6 redirects",
    }

[raphink]

Are you using another sysctl module at the same time?

[raphink]

It seem #129 indicates you are using another module, which provides a different, incompatible type. You need to choose which one you want to use (or ask @fiddyspence if he would depend on augeasproviders_sysctl for his resource type instead.

Suggestion: Collaborate with @fiddyspence and fix the problem

I kind of agree that it's just a conflict here. The types/modules are named the same thing, and I'm not hugely inclined to rename the type. I'm also not a huge augeas fan, so migrating to using augeasproviders isn't really on my radar - I don't want the type to have that kind of external library dependency hence the ruby file munging.

I was going to say we could share a common type, but then I had a closer look at @fiddyspence's module, and it really does just the same thing as this one, except without using Augeas.

So, @linuxdan, what could be the reason for wanting to use both at the same time?
