11 years ago I'm unsure if fixing previously-broken installations is within the scope of the module. That said, can you post the output of facter -p after the broken open-vm-tools attempt and before the Puppet run?

vmwaretools_version => 9.1.0-562307Ah, I see the problem - the install isn't being kicked off because the vmwaretools_version fact is actually reporting a version number, even though the open-vm-tools installation failed.
I'm not sure how the module can easily detect and recover from this - and even if it could, the secondary question is whether it should.
I'm tagging this as wontfix for now, though please feel free to let me know if there is something that can be done to mitigate the issue :)

11 years ago Hi Craig,
My thought was to incorporate something along the lines of
package { 'open-vm-tools':
ensure => absent,
}I will test to see if I can incorporate this into my copy of the module, at least for ubuntu.
Thanks!

11 years ago That stanza actually already exists in manifests/install/package.pp on lines 24 to 26.
The ensure => purged is equivalent to apt-get remove --purge open-vm-tools.

11 years ago I just saw that! :)
On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, after an attempted install of open-vm-tools, puppet-vmwaretools cannot uninstall open-vm-tools, and cannot install VMware-provided tools.
With open-vm-tools removed, puppet is able to install VMware-provided tools.
